Traditional Irish Courting Gone Bad

Traditional Irish Courting
Traditional Irish Courting
As Irish tradition goes, a young couple could only go date under the watchful eye of their matchmaker, or another agreed upon chaperone. The chaperone would be with the couple every step of the way in the courting ritual making sure both were compatible.In the photo at top, it looks like the man has had enough of courting, and of his future mother-in-law for the day as he locked them both up in his cart on his long and now quiet ride home.


Happy St. Patrick's Day!
