BBC Northern Ireland's roving reporter James Boyce attends a traditional straw wedding in Derrylin, County Fermanagh and interviews local expert Captain George Saunderson.
"A straw wedding probably dates back to pre-Christian times."
"When the bridal couple return from their honeymoon, the local farmers and farmers' boys gather together dressed in straw to welcome home the happy couple."
This clip was taken from Six Ten, BBC Northern Ireland's local news programme.
Originally broadcast in 1964.
