Superstitions About Weddings

In a book called "The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Superstitions" I found several interesting superstitions about weddings. I'll copy a couple.

The Month
Married in January's hoar and rime,
Widowed you'll be before your prime.
Married in February's sleepy weather,
Life you'll tread in time together.
Married when March winds shrill and roar,
Your Home will be on a distant shore.
Married beneath April's changing skies,
A chequered path before you lies.
Married when beees over May blossoms flit,
Strangers around your board will sit.
Married in the month of roses--June,
Life will be one long honeymoon.
Married in July with flowers ablaze,
Bittersweet memories on after days.
Married in August's heat and drowse,
Lover and friend in your chosen spouse.
Married in September's golden glow,
Smooth and serene your life will go.
Married when leaves in October thin,
Toil and hardship for you to gain.
Married in veils of November mist,
Fortune your wedding ring has kissed.
Married in days of December cheer,
Love's star shines brighter from year to year.

The Color
Married in white, you have chosen right;
Married in red, you'd better be dead;
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow;
Married in blue, your lover is true;
Married in green, ashamed to be seen;
Married in black, you'll ride in a hack;
Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;
Married in pink, your spirits will sink;
Married in brown, you'll live out of town;
Married in gray, you'll be sad every day.
