Wedding season is upon us. For the big day, many brides choose to incorporate something old,
something new, something borrowed and something blue into their weddings. This tradition stems
from the following old English rhyme: “Something olde, something new, something
borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.” Something old
denotes continuity; something new offers hope for the future; something
borrowed represents borrowed happiness; something blue stands for purity, love
and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe signifies a wish for good fortune and
prosperity.
Consequently, family members and the bride’s
attendants were encouraged to give their old, new, borrowed and blue items as
well as a sixpence to the bride as tokens of their well wishes.
Today, many brides work the old, new, borrowed
and blue objects into their weddings themselves. Can’t figure out what to do
