- Usually all marriages in this locality are held on a Wednesday because it is counted as the lucky day.
People used to go to a marriage walking but not they go in cars. They tie an old shoe out of the back of the car for luck.
The bride should wear "
Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue"

Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday for the best day of all(continues on next page)
