“Long ago people used get married at Easter.”
Long ago people used to get married at Easter. Matches are made nowadays. Money and sometimes cattle is given as dowry Wedding feasts are held. Strawboys visit the wedding house. They dress like the Wren-boys. Long ago people raced home against each other on horseback. The wives sat on the horses with their husbands. They do not go on horseback no but in motor-cars.- Collector
