- (continued from previous page)is very lonesome leaving her old home.
The men who attended the wedding, often raced against each other on horses on the way home. Very frequently accidents occurred owing to this competition, because the men used to have some drink taken which made them jolly.
In former years the wives used to sit on the horses with their husbands.This is a rhyme which old people have about marriage days-:
Marry on Monday for health
Marry on Tuesday for wealth
Marry on Wednesday the best day of all.
Marry on Thursday for losses.
Marry on Friday for crosses.
But marry on Saturday for no luck at all.
