I'm intrigued by the words "town sign decorated with ribbons" you mention, that it means there was a recent wedding somewhere in the village.
Yes, almost the same as in our area here, if there is a wedding ceremony in our village then right at the entrance near the intersection of the house, banners will be installed as a sign for the crowd.
As usual, good job bro 👍
Cool 😊 Glad to hear about the custom in your area.
