    usually called round to the house to share in the enjoyment and to dance till morning.
    Here is a rhyme that tells of the days chosen for marriages.
    "Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for crosses
    Saturday no day at all"
