Old, new, borrowed, blue

Hey,

I was just wondering what everyone else's something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue was?

Although I still have 20 months until the big day I am super organised and have:

Old - a broach my great nana gave me, it's 3 green ladybirds and she told me it was lucky, I'm thinking of having it incorporated into my bouquet.
New - I have a lot to chose from: dress, shoes, lingerie
Borrowed - my nana has lent me a pair of swarovski crystal heart earrings to go with my necklace
Blue - I'm going to ask my aunt to make me a garter. I haven't seen one I like so thought I could buy the stuff to have one made.

Not sure about the sixpence in my shoe bit, but I have one just in case.

I'm married now but I had

Old: An old sixpence that i put in my shoe. (Two birds with one stone there)
New: dress etc
Borrowed: My underskirt was borrowed off a friend
Blue: My garter had a blue ribbon through the middle of it

I wasn't sure if I could use one item for two. did you just have the sixpence in for the wedding ceremony or did you leave it in all day? Daft question but I thought it might be uncomfortable.

Old - Necklace from the 1930's - also borrowed!
New - take your pick - dress, earrings, veil, underwear
Borrowed - tiara from my new SIL (and the necklace)
Blue - little blue ribbon and bow and the top of my stockings

I didn't have the sixpence in my shoe, but will be buying one for my best friend when she gets married next year.

You can do whatever you want!

My friend lent me a silver sixpence for my shoe. She's going to let all of her friends borrow it - so it will be a lovely tradition! She also made my blue garter.

I forgot the sixpence was even in my shoe - I couldn't even feel it! But I went back to the room to freshen up after the meal and took it out then.

I couldn't feel the sixpence in my shoe either, they really are tiny little things! I took it out and put it down my cleavage where it stayed all night. Classy i know but when you have no pockets it was the safest place to keep it! haha

Old - my grandma's watch, left to me when she died in 1989
New - any number of items
Borrowed - my grandma's wedding ring and my grans wedding ring (both no longer with us), will tie them onto my garter, and then give them back to my dad and my uncle who have kindly agreed to lend them to me
Blue - a garter

I do have a sixpence, but have sandal type shoes - don't want to lose it but not sure how it will stay in my shoe?

Am I the only one who didn't bother? I did do it first time round and it obviously didn't work - this time round I didn't even think about it!

I remember one of my friends stuck her sixpence to the bottom of her sandal with glue!
