For Better
or Worse
We all know the time-honored
tradition of having or wearing
"something old, something new,
something borrowed, something
blue and a sixpence in your shoe,"
on your wedding day. It describes
the four (technically five) objects
a bride should have with her on
her wedding day for good luck, a
custom many have followed for
centuries. e phrase originated as a
Victorian-era rhyme that came out of
the English country Lancashire and
was once thought to not only give
the bride good luck on her wedding
day, but also help to guarantee
fertility and prosperity. Today, it is
simply a charming ritual many still
incorporate into their special day.
