  1. Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    It is a custom in the vicinity of Tullyvin, when a wedding takes place that the young boys dress up in straw, to disguise themselves and go in groups to the house of the newly married couple on the night that they return off their honeymoon. They are admitted to the house and they join in the merry-making and are offered whatever is going in food or drink. Sometimes they get money instead and they do not delay in the house at all.
