- The people in the county Tipperary always get married in Shrove and on Wednesday because they say :-
Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all.
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses and
Saturday no day at all.
They always like to have a fine day because it is said :-
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on;
Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on.
