    Weddings :
    When a couple are getting married
    the people tie an old shoe to the
    mans coat for good luck.

    These are superstitious rhymes in connection with weddings.
    Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday best of all
    Thursday for crosses
    Friday for losses
    Saturday no look at all.

    If you meet a spider on the day
    of your marriage you will have
    luck for the rest of your life.
    If you spill coal when you are
    single you will marry a drunkard
