  2. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    Sometimes the married pair would go for a long drive and they would have musicians on each car for playing music. When all the other people would see them passing by they would all rush out of their houses and throw an old boot or shoe after them for good luck. They would all return home about six o'clock in the evening and have their tea.

    "Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for crosses
    And Saturday is no day at all."
