    When a girl is getting married some people throw the tongs down the floor after her and after the boy too so that they will be lucky when they get married.
    Any girl getting married if it is over she has to go to her new home she will get married on Monday and if it is back she has to go to her home she get married on Tuesday
    If one get married on Monday you will have wealth, Thuseday health, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday looses, Friday crosses, and Saturday no day at all.
