3. Girls on their wedding morning have a custom that they must wear something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. The Saturday of the January fair is called match-making day. The most marriages are from that, until Shrobe [Shrove] Tuesday.
The month of June is the best for marriages, because it is the month of the roses. An old saying about the day for a wedding is Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all,
T[h]ursday for losses, Friday for crosses, Saturday no day at all.
