The Christian\u00a0Wedding Tradition<\/a> in Detail<\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Something Old<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first item of this wedding tradition<\/strong>\u00a0represents continuity of the past moving to the future. The old item can be an antique, an heirloom object, or a sentimental piece that represents the bride’s past. One can use a classic car for wedding day transportation, decorate with vintage silk ribbon, or use it in the bride’s bouquet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Something New<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The second item represents optimism for the future and the new life the bride will share with her groom. One can purchase a new makeup bag or new purse to use on the day of the wedding, or select a new jewelry<\/a> item to wear on the day of the wedding like a bracelet, earrings, a necklace, or an anklet or a new bouquet.<\/p>\n

Something Borrowed<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The third of the five items of this wedding tradition represents borrowed happiness. Some brides use a borrowed item from a long-time happily married couple for this item. But it can also be something borrowed from a friend or other relative who is symbolic of happiness. The borrowed item should be returned to the owner following the wedding day.<\/p>\n

Some instances for this wedding tradition can be to let the groom borrow grandfather’s pocket watch or have the bride carry it in her purse, borrow her father’s silk handkerchief\u00a0or use her aunt’s prayer book during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Something Blue<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The something blue item is also an opportunity for the bride who loves blue to embrace the color blue as one of her wedding colors. Use blue confetti, wear a blue garter, decorate the room with blue balloons, or use blue ribbon or flowers in the bride’s bouquet or on the groom’s boutonniere.<\/p>\n

A Sixpence in the Bride\u2019s Shoe<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The fifth and last item traditional brides have with them on their wedding day is a silver sixpence in their shoe. The sixpence represents good fortune and prosperity. The sixpence is traditionally placed in the bride’s left shoe. However, it can also be carried in the bride’s purse or sewn into the hem or lining of her gown. Including the sixpence in the bride\u2019s shoe is largely a British custom today.<\/p>\n
