May is considered an unlucky month for marriages. "Married in May - you'll rue the day" is still believed in locally. Harvest is also considered an unlucky time. People still quote the old saying "What's bound in harvest is loosed in Spring"

"Happy is the bride the sun shines on" is another superstition.
