WEDDING. AFTER THE WEDDING IS OVER, THE BRIDE GIVES IT BACK TO
HER MOTHER-IN-LAW. IT IS THEN CLEANED AND PRESSED . IN THE EVENT
OF THE FIRST CHILD BORN TO THE COUPLE, THE HANDKERCHIEF IS FOLDED
INTO A BABYS BONNET AND WORN AT THE CHRISTENING.
AFTER THIS IS OVER, THE BONNET IS PUT AWAY UNTIL HE OR SHE GETS
MARRIED AND IT IS UNFOLDED AND PASSED TO THE NEXT GENERATION.
