Ask a Question - What is your something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe?

What is your something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe?

Just wondering what everyone else is doing!! personally i'm inbetween on choosing some of these thing. and might just have a few things to represent each of these things!

these are my ideas:

something old:
-grandma's (my mom's side) single pearl necklace that she wore on her wedding day and my mom wore it on her wedding day (also something borrowed)
- deceased Grandpa's (my mom's side) childhood rosary, which my mom has. (it's broken but i figured i could pin it to my bouquet)
- looking for something old from both my grandma and grandpa on my dad's side like a hanky or brooch (most likely also borrowed)

something new:
- my dress, shoes, veil, most of my jewelry

something borrowed:
- all of my something olds

something blue:
- part of deceased grandpa's blue tie or shirt sewed on the inside of my dress
- our wedding date embroidered in blue on the inside of my dress
-blue panties (have to find cute ones still, so this is a maybe)
- blue "I DO" stickers on the bottom of my shoes (have to find these still too)

sixpence in left shoe:
- I have heard you can buy these online (still want to check this out). i'm not english, but my FH is.
- I might put a penny or dime in my shoe instead (maybe one with each of our birth years and our wedding year)

So share what you plan to do for these!!

New: Dress & Shoes

Blue: Aqua blue ruffle boy shorts

@babylu a sixpence is an old english coin. Since we Americans didn't use the sixpence in our currency, the last line of that English nuptial rhyme had to be ignored, and then was forgotten through the years. I guessing they dont say it in england anymore either!
But i do know of Americans that have changed it to either a penny or a dime. personally depending on how much the sixpence is i will most likely go with american currency. My FH is of English descent, he is American. I just like the original poem!!
I didnt even know about an curency in the shoe until i got engaged and looked up the poem!
Ps i love everyones ideas!!!
