Marriage Customs in CappamoreMarriages most frequently take place during Shrove. Friday and Saturday are the most unluckiest days to get married. But as the saying says: Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all
Thursday for bosses
Friday for crosses,
Saturday no luck at all" - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
