- Some time ago marriages usually took place before Lent and often on Shrove Tuesday.
There was no such thing as a motor drive; the party usually walked to church and home again. Now they drive to a town or towns where they have breakfast and spend the day in some place dancing and amusing themselves, the whole party coming home to the bride's house for dinner after which the bride and bridegroom may go on their honey moon; if not a considerable part of the night is spent by all the guests in the bride's house, the bride going home with her husband during the night many of the guests going also where their are other guests and the wedding feast continued.
Formerly there would be horses on both sides and a race from the Church to the bride's house, but at the approach to the town land in which the bride lived some of her friends or neighbours would meet the wedding with a bottle of whiskey with which the groom would treat all those collected at this place where a halt was made and finally the groom smashed the bottle for the fragments of which the young folk would rush in order to dream of their future wives or husbands.
