- Shrove was considered the proper time in which to celebrate marriage. The Shrovetide was from Januarey until Shrove Tuesday. The fair of Rathdowney on the 28th of January was the all important day for match-making. The parents of the boy and girl met and the bargain was made. Money was given as a dowry. No one got married during the month of May, Brides-to-be were told "marry in may and you'll rue the day". Mrs Loughman, Galmoy, was married in May 1888 and she told me she never regretted the day. The marriages took place about 4 pm. The bride was attired in a gown of silk with a large silk shawl thrown carelessly over her shoulders and fastened with a brooch. She also wore something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue. In the church, two collections were made one for the priest and the other for the sacristan. The bridegroom gave a silver coin to his bride and she usually kept it to bring her prosperity.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
