When this ceremony,
the “three times three”
was ended, the guests
exchanged cups with
the bride in token
of good will,
and thus the union
was consummated.
Shortly afterwards the bride, her husband, and his parents visited her home. In the evening the bride returned home with her husband and his parents with whom she lived in harmony, contented, prosperous and happy, and much to be congratulated.
