    afford to throw up money, it is thrown up by the bridegroom. When the married pair are going off in their motor car, an old boot is tied to the back of the car and ribbons are tied for luck.
    The bride is not supposed to see her own house for a month, unless she is going to live there.

    Marriage Customs in Cappamore
    Marriages most frequently take place during Shrove. Friday and Saturday are the most unluckiest 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"
