    Days for Wedding :-
    Long ago there was a special luck attached to each day on which a wedding took place. Some of the old people believed in these rhymes, and some still believe in them. The following is an example : -
    Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for losses
