- (continued from previous page)wedding breakfast. It is the custom around here to send a small box of wedding cake to the friends. The young people who are not married put some of it under their pillow and dream on it.
There are some people who hold a "hauling home," ten days or so after the wedding. The bride invites all her new neighbours and they dance all night. They are given tea and cake during the night.- Collector
