Something Old represents the link with the bride’s family and the past. On their wedding day many brides choose to wear a piece of antique family jewelry or a mother’s or grandmother’s wedding gown. Something New represents good fortune and success in the bride’s new life.)

A Lucky Penny to have and to hold,
Will bring you good luck I am told.
or
Something Blue and a Sixpence in Her Shoe!
(The wedding gown is often chosen as the new item. Something Borrowed is to remind the bride that friends and family will be there for her when help is needed long after the wedding is over. The borrowed object might be something such as a lace handkerchief. Something Blue is the symbol of faithfulness and loyalty. Often the blue item is the garter.
A Sixpence in her Shoe is to wish the bride and groom wealth.)
