You may be interested in the origin of this tradition and want to include it in observing your own marriage.This is something that most brides still enjoy doing.

Something old, a family treasure, worn or driven to honour your past.

Something new, worn to welcome your future with your new husband. Like your wedding rings

 

 Something borrowed, traditionally (like jewellery) from someone who is happily married so that her luck will rub off on your new marriage.

 Something blue, the symbol of fidelity and true love.

 And, that penny in your shoe-to bring prosperity to your union and good luck. Often, it was made into a piece of jewelry after the wedding. Now if it’s something you want to honour, find that lucky penny because they are out of circulation and becoming obsolete!
