i saw on a blog a bride who's photographer gave her a mint which happened to be blue so when he took her photo before she went in she had a blue tongue!

Remember you silver sixpence in your shoe

From wikipedia

Something old,
something new,
something borrowed,
something blue
and a sixpence in her shoe.



The old item provided protection for the baby to come. The item borrowed from another happy bride provided good luck. The colour blue was a sign of fidelity. The sixpence — a silver British coin — was a symbol of prosperity or acted as a ward against evil done by frustrated suitors. The superstition is known since 1883 when it was attributed to the county of Lancashire

For my first wedding I did this

old - my pearls (got them for my 21st)
new - my dress
borrowed - hoop underskirt for dress
blue - my mums blue garter

My second wedding (my first husband died)

old - my bracelet
new - necklace
borrowed - bag from my sister
blue - my mums blue garter

Each time I had a sixpence in my shoe my dad gave me.

Hope you have a lovely day
