  1. Days for Marriage

    Share Share Post
    Monday for Health
    Tuesday for Wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for Crosses
    Saturday is no day at all.
    Marry a mountainy woman and you marry the mountain.
    If you're married and the (old (fellow) (lady) cross
    Lift the poker and say "You are boss"
    The better the day the better the deed
    The more haste the less speed
    Saturday's flitting makes short sitting.
    Happy is the corpse that the rain falls on
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
