The youth from the 70s and 80s had more freedom to go out and meet more people and the process of becoming engagement changed a lot. One participant told me that during those years she really did not think about getting married. She said that the youth back then saw marriage as a very serious thing. All of these youths studied outside of Ciadoncha and were exposed to a greater cultural diversity. Many youths began to travel and all that influenced its form to think. The youths from the nineties practically have not lived in Ciadoncha. These are the grandchildren of the natives of the town. They have been raised in the capitols and have a totally different way of thinking when it comes to the engagement and marriage. Something that seems interesting to me is that since I put some of the stories that I have written about this town on the Internet, I have received several e-mails from the young people which in some way identify with the town and enjoy reading something that brings them closer to their elder’s town. Before, if a couple wanted to formalize their relationship, then the man had to ask for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. To do this, the groom and his parents went to the bride’s house and they had a formal meeting that consisted in going out for dinner or a well prepared afternoon snack. The parents of the bride and groom talked and would decide when the wedding would be. It was custom for the groom to pay for the bride’s dress and the dormitory went to the father of the bride’s account. (Personal Interview, 2006). Weddings were done during mass. In Ciadoncha, it was customary, like the rest of Spain, to elect a godfather who would present the bride and a bridesmaid, who accompanies the groom to the alter. In some weddings, little boys who carry the rings enter the church first and then the bride with the godfather, who normally was the father of the bride, while the mother and her son, who is the groom, wait in the alter. After the mass, the bride and groom their godparents, and some witnesses move to the sacristy to sign the marriage certificate. Once the act is finalized, they move on to the meal, which is carried out in a restaurant. Large weddings in the town were done before the automobile existed. It is said that they were parties that lasted up to three days. This is because relatives came from far places and they had to attend to them. There was a lot of food, music, dancing, and the whole town appeared to be partying. They would get married in the town’s church and the reception was done at home. In the majority of old wedding photos, before 1955, the brides wore a dark dress. 112

After 1955, more or less brides began dressing in white. These couple’s would celebrate their wedding, or as they say went to the expense of celebrating it in a restaurant in the province’s capital. These couple’s went on a honeymoon to a place in the country. The majority of these couple’s are today the grandparents of the youth are once in a while seen on the streets or in parties of Ciadoncha. 113
