Fada 's Farsaing (Far and Wide) Gaelic and Celtic Customs

An West Lothian Wedding Rhyme

Last month we featured a Caithness Wedding rhyme. Another similiar rhyme comes from West Lothian. This documents the problem with many of the customs of Scotland. They change as they move from area to area. This rhyme is suppose to help you decide which day to be married. The problem is which one do you follow since they have different consequences attached to the days. The following is the West Lothian rhyme:
Monday for health
Tuesday for wealth
Wednesday no luck at all
Thrusday for loss
Friday for crosses
Saturday the best day of all.

To be continued.
