  1. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    People say that it is not lucky to get married during Lent.
    Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are the days for getting married.
    The night before the wedding the Bride and Bridegroom go away to a friend's house and have a big feast.
    The month of June is supposed to be a lucky month for getting married. When the Bride and Bridegroom are married they go away in a car for their honeymoon.
