Irish Wedding Traditions & Superstitions | Irish Folklore

I'm back after a short hiatus!


My regular schedule had to readjust around two full-time working schedules but we're back on track and bringing you Irish Customs and Folklore around Weddings. Well, some customs and traditions... Honestly, there are a whole lot more and maybe a part 2 video there somewhere if there's enough interest?



We are getting married in September so I've been researching a lot of old customs via the National School's Collection on www.duchas.ie as well as looking into the misconceptions around hand-fasting ceremonies.
