- Weddings long ago
Some years ago people hardly ever got married on a Friday because it was considered an unlucky day. Usually the people used to get married on Sunday and Wednesday. Once upon a time a couple got married on Friday. This couple had no luck afterwards. They had no family and they were always fighting and arguing with one another.
When the people came home after being married they always had a feast. Some people at the present time do not have any feast at all. Nowadays people always marry on lucky days.
