- If a widow or widower gets married again alot of people gather round their house.
and they get alot of bugles and cans and horns and when the married couple would be coming home from their honeymoon all the people go to meet them with the bugles and horns and when they would they (meet them) would blow the bugles and sometimes they would stay round their house for a week blowing the bugles.
This custom is still carried on here.- Collector
