    Share Share Post
    Days lucky and unlucky for marriage:-
    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses
    and
    Saturday no day at all.
    Month unlucky for marriage:-
    Marry in May and you will regret the day.
    Change the name and not the letter change for worse and not for better.
    Something old and something new something borrowed and something blue.
