When I was knee-high to a grass-hopper [60+ years ago], several of my aunts got married and they were given the 'calithumpian' treatment.
The only difference was that, in South Australia at least, it was called a "tin-kettling" - but it would have still been just as noisy, though.
These functions seemed to be observed more in rural districts rather than in urban areas.
Perhaps the neighbours didn't like the noise ??
