  2. Sayings about a Wedding.
    If you are married in green - Shames to be seen. If you are married in red- Tears will be shed. If you are married in blue - Its sure to be true. If you are married in grey - You'll go far away. If you are married in white - Sure to be right.
    It is lucky to find iron or white heather. It is unlucky to lose the heel off your shoe or to turn back when going on a journey.

    Salt is a cure for the hiccough. If you rub a silver coin on itch it will heal immediately.
