  2. Marriage Customs in Cappamore
    Marriages most frequently take place during Shrove. Friday and Saturday are considered the most unlucky days to get married.
    But as the saying says:
    "Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for bosses,
    Friday for crosses, Saturday no luck at all"
