    and some on side cars.
    "Married in blue sure to prove true."
    Married in black wish to be back
    Married in green ashamed to be seen
    Married in yellow ashamed of your fellow.
    Married in white chosen alright,
    Married in red wish to be dead.

  2. Marriage Lore

    Share Share Post
    When a man and wife comes to the house after being married it is an old saying that which-ever of them enters the house first will live the longest. When a girl gets married and leaves her own home she isn't supposed to come back for a month.
    Married in blue sure to be true,
    Married in white chosen alright,
    Married in brown live out of town,
    Married in grey go far away,
    Married in pearl live in a whirrel.
