The Native Bride.

A native bride in Hindo3tan is loaded with all the jewelry she can get. She has a girdle at the waist, numerous rings, anklets, bracelets and bells, and decorations for the hair. Although she has never seen her Intended husband, she goes and sits beside him on the day of the ceremony. The priest takes a corner of the bride’s veil and ties it to the groom’s shawl, and they are married.
