    Long ago the people used to have a wedding after their marriage, but this old custom has all but died away and that is a pity.
    The wedding was a kind of
    big party usually given in the house the pair was going to live in.A large crowd of people were invited to the wedding ,and all uninvited guests used to dress up and go to the wedding ,and they used be welcomed heartily there.
