    There are alot of proverbs and old sayings which the people of Loughshinny use
    Married in red you'll wish you were dead
    Married in white you have those all right.
    Married in pink your spirits will sink
    Married in yellow your ashamed of your fellow.
    Married in green your ashamed to be seen.
    Married in brown you will live in a town
    When one is wishing anyone good he says may the grass never grow on your door step
    An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
    A bad workman quarrels with his tools
