In the past, the marriage was a means to strengthen their ties between families in the same social and financial level, with the same creed. The family used to choose the partner, except the bride or groom. When it was difficult to find a partner among relatives, was appointed a person to do this for the family. When one could find the right girl, the groom’s family was informed, and after they agree, the person inform and the bride’s family. After both families consent, is specifying a date for the meeting.

During the engagement, his fiancee was not let to leave the house and was not allowed to meet anyone. The groom’s father gave to his son some money to buy a wedding gift, called “Daza”. Daza consists of four precious robes, two sets of clothes, towels, blankets and beds. A group of women who are in charge of organizing the party will bear these gifts to the fiancée’s in house the night of Monday or Tuesday. Under the flashlight, the group sings the whole way from the faince home to the fiancee. If the girl’s father accepts the gift, it means that he blessed the marriage. He will prepare for the bride’s trousseau. On the night of the wedding, the groom’s go through from his house to the bride’s house, accompanied by her father, uncles, relatives and neighbors. When they arrive at her house “singers” get it.

Several women in the family and the musicians keep the edge scarves, rising and descending to them, in accordance with the rhythms of a traditional song. Then, the bride is brought sitting in a chair in the room where the groom is waiting.
