Marriages
When two people would be married long ago they would wear something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue. When the people were coming out of the chapel there would be a few people at the gate to throw rice at them, it was said that it would bring them luck.
They thought that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were luck days to get married. When the marriage was over the bride would go to the man's house for a month or if she went home before the month was up she would have no luck.
