- (continued from previous page)at her younger sister’s wedding should wear a green garter, if she does, it will bring her good luck. This is another rime which the bride should remember.
Married in green not fit to be seen,
Married in yellow ashamed of you fellow,
Married in red you’d better be dead,
Married in black you’ll wish yourself back,
Married in brown you’ll live out of town,
Married in grey you’ll live far away,
Married in pink on you he will think,
Married in blue your love will be true,
Married in white your married all right.- Collector
