    It is unlucky to see a funeral the day one would get married. If the bride slips or falls going into the church it is an unlucky omen. The bride must be at the church before the bridegroom or it is unlucky if she do not. It is unlucky to borrow something the day one would get married. It is lucky to get married on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but it is unlucky to get married on Thursday Friday and Saturday. Anyone that gets married on Monday will be healthy on Tuesday wealthy Wednesday the best day of all Thursday for losses Friday for crosses and Saturday for no luck at all.
