    It is not right for a bride to come home until she is a month married.
    The wedding should take place either on Monday Tuesday or Wednesday because these are three lucky days.
    Those who are married on Thursday are married for losses. Those who are married on Friday are married for crosses and those who are married on Saturday will have no luck at all.
