- When the bride goes to her new home it is unlucky to go back to visit in her old home within a month.
An old boot or shoe is tied behind the car in which the bride is for good luck.
On the morning of the wedding it is lucky for bride to wear something old, something new, something, borrowed and something blue.
This is a rhyme about the luck and unlucky days for marriage.
Mondy for health
Tuesday for wealth
Wednesday the best day of all(continues on next page)- Collector
