- Marriages usually take place in Shrovetide. The people in our district get married on Mondays and Thursdays. They say they are lucky days for marriages. Matches are made in our district. Money is given as dowry. Stock and goods are given as well.
Marriages took place in the house long ago. The people have feasts in either the brides or bridegrooms house. Straw - boys visit the houses. They dress in straw and rags. They get plenty to eat and drink. They dance and play music.- Collector
