- In older times when people had not any churches they used to be married on the side of a mountain. A rock was used instead of an altar
The old people say that it is
generally right to get married on a Monday. When people get married they get presents from their neighbours and they say if you get a things on a Monday you will be getting things for the week. If the day is fine when persons are getting married the people say, "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on"- Collector
