Are there any silly traditional courting rituals in Ireland ?

Back where I grew up, it was traditional to put up a "May tree" for the one that caught your eye to signal to her that she had a secret but earnest admirer.

The May tree is traditionally a birch (the bigger, the better) decorated with a few ribbons. You plant that in front of the bedroom window of your "darling" on the night of April 30th to May 1st.

So, there I was (19 or so), heavily infatuated with this stunning, temperamental red head. She was blowing hot and cold, showing great interest and the cold shoulder and I didn't quite know where I stood and seen as how it was the end of April I decided I'd force the issue.

Off to the forest then with my friend ...pick the tallest birch sapling that we could find (about 6 meter high ), cut it down (highly illegal of course), stuff it in the back of a Renault 4 van (with lots of it hanging out) and drive it to her place (possibly without getting caught by the police), tie some ribbons to it and put it front of her bedroom window at 3 am.

That was rather fun

What wasn't was her reaction.
Now ..it needs to be said that this May tree thing is a somewhat rural tradition ...village life and all that ...but herself lived in town and had some airs and graces about living in the better part and all that.
So she was mortified by some "bogger" putting this tree in front of her house and all the neighbours seeing it

That was the end of a beautiful relationship that never was


Anything similar in Ireland?

Anyone ever done anything similar?
