Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Have you ever wondered where where that saying came from? Why is it that you run around on your wedding day looking to borrow something that hopefully will be blue. Is it to stress you out or give you the luck you need on your wedding day. Well let me shed some light on this tradition for you. "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe" is an Old English rhyme. Yes, this British Custom is supposed to be your good luck charm. Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness; something blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe is a wish for good fortune and prosperity. If you choose to partake in this custom you can look to your mom, bridal attendants, and family for some of these items. Keep in mind the "Something New" you can buy for yourself. That's right girls, one more reason to go SHOPPING!!!!
