Local Marriages
21-11-'38.
It is said that May (that
is a very unlucky month
to get married and July
is the very opposite. Before
a man and woman get
married their parents
usually go into a public
house to make arrangements
with their friends. According
to their means they would
have to pay the preist
for marrying them.
If poor people
get married, instead of
going for a honey-moon
they go out for a good
day's driving.
Long ago when
people would be coming
home from a wedding
boys used pelt sods at them.
