    the bride to lose her marriage ring.
    Long ago straw-boys visited the houses the night of a wedding. They would dance and sing, and they would get drink.
    When the bride, and the bridegroom are going in, the bride goes in the first cover-car, and the bridegroom in that last car. When coming home they are together.
