Is this still common Practice!??

[catalicious]

Do people when they get married now still do the following things as a measure of good luck or whatever other reason they are used for??

Something Old
Something New
Something Borrowed
Something Blue

I just dont know if its a olden day kind of thing or if people still do this.

[~mia&ryan~]

I am planning on doing this, but its still in the planning stages.:D

[Baby Girl]

Should I ever walk the aisle ;) I will be doing it.....

[Ryan&RileysMum]

hey if you hire your wedding dress
does that count as borrowed?

[Squiggles]

I wanted to but ended up more like "something new and something else new and another thing new"

My Grandmother gave me a Saphire ring of hers to wear but I changed my mind at the last minute.

[jkate]

Yep I did

Something Old: Instead of carrying a bouquet, I carried a wedding pray book that was given to my grandmother off her mother, my mother carried it down the aisle and last weekend my sister did to:)

Something New: I read somewhere that all brides get new dresses so you should have something else ;)(I think it was from a babysitter book:o) so my necklace

Something borrow: was my friends tiara

Something blue: the garter

[shed]

Too easy for the something old...

That will be me, the bride, LOL.

[Mummaof2]

Something Old: My Nan's Opal broach she left me when she passed.

Something New: My dress, shoes, earrings, necklace, tiara, veil

Something Borrowed: My matron of honours bracelet i bought for her birthday

Something Blue: My garter and there was blue ribbon on my lingerie

[GiggleBerry]

Hi

I did this for my first wedding/marriage

Old- exMIL bracelet
New- earrings & necklace
Borrowed- exMIL bracelet
Blue- Hens night we went to a strip club and the funny money that you could stuff in their g's were blue so I tucked this under my garter.:laughing: I should mention that we had a full on catholic wedding:o

I also did a sixpence in my shoe, not sure where this tradition comes from but my mother insisted.
