- Most marriages take place on Shrove Tuesday. Mondays and Fridays are thought unlucky for marriages. Matches were made in this district. Straw boys do not visit this district. When a party got married long ago the wives used to sit on their horses behind their husbands.Everyone that was invited to a wedding at that time galloped their horses to and from the Church. Marriages were held in the houses long ago. The party that got married on that day would hire a piper or a fiddler for the night. They would have an all night dance
