The "something new" was really easy to check off the list, as was the "something blue" (my shoes!) I wish I could say I had some very sweet and sentimental things to meet the old and borrowed requirements, but the rather lame truth is I was satisfied with claiming my engagement ring as my something old (yeah, I'd had it for a whole year and a half.) And the borrowed bit? Well, that I never figured out, although we ended up borrowing extension cords from our neighbor at the last minute...
From The Coin Jeweler (different pair than I gave to E, but the same Etsy shop)I did plan ahead to incorporate a sixpence into our day, but, instead of wearing one in my shoe, part of my gift to E was a pair of sixpence cufflinks. Since E loves cufflinks, I figured the groom could take part in act of bringing good luck upon the union with his attire.
I do wish I'd put more thought into the old and borrowed part, but I loved my pieces for the other three. Those of you who are married, tell me, did you do anything slightly unconventional to meet any wedding day traditions?
the pair of sixpence cufflinks are such a great idea, i love how you think outside the box! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that! Those cufflinks are very cool.
ReplyDeleteMy mom stitched a blue ribbon into a linen handkerchief that I carried with my bouquet. :) And I hate having stuff in my shoe, so we taped the sixpence to the bottom!
Very cool - love these.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that you counted your ring as something old! What a great idea to get him these cufflinks. When we got married I think that I just had something New--my dress. Ops! I wish so much now that I had put more thought in to the traditaions of the day. Working 12 hours a day and planning a wedding made the whole process sadly unenjoyable...
