- In this country or this part of it the people marry mostly about February. It is said that it is unlucky to marry in the month of May and also on Fridays, and Saturday.
Now-a-days the married couple sometimes take their breakfast in the bride's or bridegroom’s house and other times they do not. After that they go away to some town for the day. When they come home that night the people gather round and they have a dance. The dance lasts unto near morning. People are invited to it.- Collector
