The enormous amount Of gold that was found

night before her marriage will be thrice
blessed. saI
If the bridegroom carries a miniature
horseshoe in his pocket he will always
have good luck. a., II
Ship marriages are considered anything
but lucky. Get married on land, or don't
get married at ALL
No bride or groom should be given a
telegram while on the way to church. 1t is

If the wedding ring is dropped during the
ceremony the bride may as we'll wish her

fore the newly made husband has chance

Maidens eager to wed should give dish

dishes in water so hot.
Should a bride perchance see a coffin
