  1. Sayings in Connection with Local Marriages

    Marry in May and you'll rue the day.
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on; happy is the corpse that the rain falls on.
    Monday for health, Tuesady for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses and Saturday no luck at all.
    Long ago when people were getting married they used to ride on horseback to the church, and when they were married they rode home again to the bride's house.
