    It is lucky to get married on a Monday. It is very unlucky to get married on a Saturday. The night of the marriage they have whiskey and stout and all kinds of drink. After getting married the married couple go home and the people at home have a party for them and they have whiskey and wine and stout and lots of things. They dance and sing. They invited all the neighbours. Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best of all. Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses and Saturday the worst of all.
