Polish Wedding Traditions VI - Picking a Wedding Date

I posted already months that are traditionally in Polish culture, preferred for weddings. Let me cover now a little bit about day of the week in which the marriage and wedding will take place because they have specific meanings as well. 

Monday (Poniedziałek - p'ony'ej'aw'ek) - it is believed to bring to couple health. 
Tuesday (Wtorek - ft'or'ek) - couples married on that day of the week will be wealthy.
Wednesday (środa - shr'od'a) - brings general luck in life.
Thursday (Czwartek - chv'art'ek) - financial trouble.
Friday (Piątek - p'eeo(n)t'ek) - worries and pain.
Saturday (Sobota - s'ob'ot'a)- general happiness with a little bit of trouble here and there.
Sunday (Niedziela - ny'ej'el'a) - happiness in marriage. 

I have no idea how much of this is really true. What I know is that I have never been, or done a Polish wedding on a Friday.
