Everyone was invited to celebrate with the young couple. Preparations for the wedding lasted for many days. A t the conclusion of the ceremony a large jar of beer was taken to the courtyard. The hands of the betrothed were joined over the jar and it was smashed into pieces . These pieces were picked up by the girls of marriageable age who were present, the girl with the largest piece being destined to marry first, the girl with the smallest being fated to remain a spinster.
