    (continued from previous page)
    but twenty years ago it was jaunting cars that were used; and before that the bridegroom used to carry home his bride on his saddle horse, sitting on a pillow behind him.
    At the feast after the wedding whiskey and porter are served first. Then the Wedding Cake is divided. And dancing and singing follow. Last of all rounds of tea are served.
