- Long ago the people used to get married during Shrove. There are many unlucky months and days for getting married. May and June are the unlucky months Monday Wednesday and Friday are the unlucky days.
The matches are made. The brides people come and look at the farmer and ask for a fortune according to the number of cows. If they have seven cows two hundred pounds are asked and if they have more than seven three hundred pounds is asked.
Sometimes people do give money or a fortune as it is called but a farm or a cottage or a house in the town. Long ago the feast used to be held in the house. The wedding cake used to be cut over the brides head by the bridegroom.- Collector
