- Most people marry in Shrove. October is an unlucky month to get married.
If a person fits on her marriage dress the day before she gets married she will never lived to wear it.
Money people give for a fortune. Alot of people make matches in Shrove.
Long ago people used to get married in their own houses.
They used to play on flutes long ago at the marriage feast
There are many old piseogs.
Something old something old and now something borrowed something blue.
Dressed in green you'll live like the queen. Dressed in grey you'll live far away. Dressed in blue your love is quite true. Dressed in white you have chosen all right.- Collector
