The traditional motto is:
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
Six degrees is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. This wedding tradition may go back to England, and many sources say it started sometime in the Victorian era. Each element in this poem is a kind of good luck token for the bride - when she wears them, they claim that their marriage will thrive.
Something old: the old element has different meanings, but a common theme: a reference to the continuity of the brides in the past. Some say this is a desire to stay in touch with family and the family setting. Other sources say that the life you left behind. Another idea is that the tradition of family values and family connection brings to you. It's safe to say that all these assumptions are correct, the bride stands to leave his past behind to start a new beginning, but we must not forget where she was. Jewelry from your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother in an old wedding photo of your family, a love letter from his father, his mother, a picture of his parents in your purse, Old: the things that you can use for something old theme, the handkerchief, pillow childhood hold your rings , a piece of lace sewn into the hem of her wedding dress.
Something new: the middle of optimism and hope for the future. It conveys the message that you and your husband a new department that will meet the test of time. Many brides choose to use their wedding dresses, flowers, or rings, to symbolize "something new" in this tradition.
Something Borrowed: Again, there are several meanings for borrowing items from a friend or relative. Some sources say, borrowing a bit of luck borrowing from a happily married woman so that her happiness is still new to the bride. Other sources say it is a symbol of love and worship, you are a person who borrowed the item. If you borrow an item from a happily married mother or grandmother, you can meet these two meanings. This allows your parents (or grandparents), I know you admire their marriage and respect that have for each other, and that you hope for a happy marriage as well. Lent media also means that the bride can always rely on your friends and family for their support. Items that can be used for something borrowed theme could be: family jewels, placed a prayer book from her mother or grandmother, pearl necklaces, or your parents cut the cake.
Something Blue: Blue color is connected to weddings for centuries as a symbol of love, humility, fidelity, happiness, purity and fidelity. Many brides incorporate this color in their clothes, and either stoned to death by wearing a blue piece of jewelry or wear a blue garter. But for a modern spin, you could do blue toe nails, blue eyeshadow, blue ribbon tied in a flower, blue underwear, even wearing bright blue shoes! The possibilities are endless and limited only by your imagination.
