    The lucky days of the week for marriage are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The other days are supposed to be unlucky. The unlucky months for marriage are March, August, and December. When a man and a girl are to be married one of them must have a farm or kine, and the other must have a fortune. The man usually has the farm. On the night of the wedding straw boys come to the bride's house They are welcomed and given drink there. The bride should not wear black at the wedding, as it is unlucky. If a wedding party meets a funeral it is supposed to be an unlucky omen.
