- Local Marriage Customs
Marriages take place throughout the year except in Lent, Advent & the month of May.
Wednesday is considered the most lucky day. Matches are not made in the district. Up to fifty years ago it was customary to take the intended bride from her father's house and leave her in the house of a friendly neighbour for a day or two until the marriage took place.
