    Lucky wedding days
    "Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for losses.
    Friday for crosses,
    And Saturday, no luck at all."
    "Married in white, you have chosen all right.
    Married in black, you will wish yourself back.
    Married in yellow, you are ashamed of your fellow,
    Married in green, you are ashamed to be seen,
    Married in blue, he will always be true.
    Married in red, you will wish yourself dead."
    "A Saturday's flitting,
    Is a short sitting."
    Lucky Birthdays.
    "Monday's child is fair of face.
    Tuesday's child is full of grace.
    Wednesday's child is full of woe.
    Thursday's child has far to go.
