According to the custom the bridegrooni, im mediately after the priest had wedded the couple strikes his wife in the face, saying, "This is how you will fare if you make me angry," and then, kissing her, bo says: This is how you will fare If you treat me well."

The bride, who was ignorant of the "inner meaning" of what she considered an insult, turned round on her lord and master and returned the stroke, saying: "Look here, I do not approve of such behaviour, After which the husband is said to have perin formed the second part of the ceremony with more than the usual affection.
