August is supposed to be a lucky month to get married. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are said to be lucky days to get married. Any people who are getting married always get married before shrove. If not they would not be married for the year. Before a marriage would take place a match was made. The parents of those who were to be married would meet in town. They they would make the match. A fortune was given with the girl who is to be married.
