- (continued from previous page)If they don't get anything they often cause much trouble. When the people were coming home after the marriage they raced on horses to the bride's house to get a bottle of whiskey and go back to meet the bride. The bride and bridegroom would give the whiskey to the people and the bride would break the bottle against a stone. Friday is supposed to be an unlucky day to get married. The months of May and October are unlucky months to get married.
