    "Happy is the bride that the sun shines on."
    "Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all.
    Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses,
    Saturday no luck at all."
    "Marry in brown, you will live out of town."

    Marry in yellow, he's a jolly good fellow."
