    else should marry soon in the same house.
    Everyone should wish happiness, health and prosperity, on the wedding ring. The wedding cake should be cut, and sent to the bride's best friends. The bride should not see the bridegroom entering the Chapel the wedding morning, but she should wait until they reach the altar railings.
