    Long ago when a marriage was about to take place the people had an old saying which they used to say to see whether the marriage was lucky or not.
    Monday for wealth
    Tuesday for health
    Wednesday the best of all.
    Thursday for losses.
    Friday for crosses.
    Saturday is no day at all.
    But most marriages take place on Wednesday because it is said to be the best day of all
