DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS?
Some Thing Old , Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue
I have to tell you that I have been in the wedding industry for a few years now........ And I got this Wrong. So it is a saying that many brides live by. " Something old, Something New Something Borrowed and Something blue". Now if you have read any of my past post I know that I am guilty of the broken record syndrome (get it ... I am a DJ). Ok they cant all be good. Moving on, Weddings are ALL about tradition and this my friends is no exception.
According to Wikipedia the origin can be traced back to an English rhyme in 1898.
So broke down to modern times. What does it mean. It is all symbolic:
Something Old - Represents the old life that the bride is leaving behind
Something New - Represents the new life that the bride and groom will enter into.
Something Borrowed - Represents the many happy years the couple will have.(should be from some one who is happily married and has been for a while.)
Something Blue - Represents purity
There it is....... or is it? Did you know that there was a last part to this poem that many people have never heard???
The last line of this rhyme is : And a Sixpence in your shoe. - represents good luck (usualy a gift from the man of the house .....DAD)
Congratulations on your engagement.
