Quaint and picturesque marriage customs were observed recently at Hok Island, off the Northumberland coast. When the young couple left the church the bride was helped to jump over the pettmg-stone" by the two oldest fishermen. On arrival at the churchyard ?ate they found it tied up, and it had to be cut loose by the same two old men. 'On arrival at the bride's house three guns blazed off two rounds apiece, and the plate on which the wedding cake wag cut was thrown into the air. If the plate docs not break it means bad luck.
