- (continued from previous page)The following are some old customs relating to marriage:
The bride should wear,
Something borrowed, something blue,
Something old and something new.
It is supposed to be unlucky to wear green. Also it is unlucky if a woman introduced the contracting parties.
On "Chalk" - Sunday (the Sunday following Shrove Tuesday) it is the custom to chalk those who are of marriageable age, but who did not get married during Shrove.
St Brigid's Well at Lismulbreeda
