  2. Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Marriages were celebrated in a much different manner in the olden times than nowadays. The people were married at the very young age of seventeen, and the women were dressed in a beautiful, dear, red or blue hooded cloak descending to the knees and tightened with a belt. The men wore suits as they wear now. Potatoes, plenty of meat and whiskey were the order of the day, while the house was packed until the break of day.
