  1. Social - Matchmaking

    Share Share Post
    Matchmaking was done long ago by an old man that went to the houses where people were to get married. The parents of each + the old man used to meet in some public house in the nearest town. They would fix the fortune + settle on the day to get married before the people concerned would know about it.
