    after Shrove Tuesday. When people are getting married it is an old custom for them to get married on a Wednesday. When a girl gets a piece of wedding cake she puts nine new hairpins in a circle about it and she puts it under her pillow and sleeps on it, and she is supposed to call out the name of the man she is going to marry before morning.
