Weddings in the Good Old Days

In tho early days OF Kentucky,
marriages were celebrated with
very little pomp. The ceremony
usually took place about noon.
The bride wore a plain white gown
made at home, carried no flowers
and wore neither veil nor dia-
monds. There were no flower
girls or ushers.
Dinnerwas served soon after the
ceremony. AS there were no ca
terers in Kentucky ut that early
period, the cooking was done by
"Black Nanny 1t is true there
were no shredded biscuits, ice
cream, etc, but the dinner was
palatable and wholesome. 1t was
customary at that time for the
relatives or friends in The
neigh borhood TO take their best
cooks and assist in preparing the
dihnr. Immediately after dinner,
il thewcathpr permitted, the young
folk strolIcd out into the orchard
or garicn, whila the Older ones
repaired to lhrl,otch or yard, aud.
discussed the prospects OF the
bride and groom, the crops, price
OF slaves, etc., etc.
Tho next day was lniare day, the
day on which the groom took his
bride to his fathers home, whore
like entertainment of the pre-.
vious day took place. The travel
ing was usually done on horse
back.
1t was customary in those days
for the relatives and friends TO
meet and erect cabin for the
newly-married couple. one room,
with an attic, was the usual size of
the house. There were no stairs,
the approach to the attic being by
a ladder. The furnishings Of the
cabin We're usually done by the
parents OF the bride and groom.
There was window and one door
to the house, No lock or key was
necessary at that time, only latch
with the string on the outside.
After the newly-married couple set
tied in their home they had what
was termed a house warming,
which included the relatives and
friends of both parties. II usually
lasted all day, after which the
young couple settled down 10 HES
