Something old..something new..

There is a thread going on about the lucky sixpence in your shoe on your wedding day, and it made me wonder what people are doing (if you are doing?) for their "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" things.
My sixpence will be my something old, my dress will be my something new my Mum is lending me her garter from her wedding day as my something borrowed and my toenails will be painted as my something blue.
What are you doing?
