    Share Share Post
    Marriages are few and far between in Crusheen. The time of the year most common for getting married is during Shrove. The people of Crusheen say that Wednesdays and Thursdays are unlucky for getting married. The month of March is allso unlucky for getting mirried. The colour green is allso said to be unlucky to ket married in. Straw-boys are hary ever heard of now.
