Small weddings used to last three days. Large ones could go on for an entire week.
It was almost a rule that weddings took place on a Sunday.

In engagements long ago, the groom did not attend in person. Instead, he sent two or three of his men with the ring, the sugared almonds, and the gifts. Back then, children were often married off by their families through arranged marriages, and if the couple did not know each other, they had no right to even see each other’s faces until after the wedding.
When someone lost something valuable from his house, he could order the parish priest to tell the congregation on Sunday that he had suffered this damage. Whoever did it should know that the next Sunday if he did not return what he took or pay for it, he would raise a stone.
