  1. Wedding Customs

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people walked to the Chapel to get married. Sometimes the people went on horseback. When they came home they held an Irish wedding.
    There is a little verse telling us the lucky days to get married and the unlucky to get married.
    Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for crosses
    Saturday the worst day of all
    Sunday no day at all.
