    honey moon usually to Dublin or to other places. Here is a rhyme about wedding days.
    Monday for wealth
    Tuesday for health
    Wednesday the best day of all
    And welcome Friday and silver Saturday.
    Sometimes the married pair stay away on their honeymoon for a long time but some people come back again that night. Then they hold an all night dance and a lot of people are invited and some of the friends play a violin and other instruments. Sometimes the married pair are not at the dance because they would be away on their honeymoon. The friends of the married pair on to the back of the car they would be going to the church in.
