Something old,something new,something borrowed and something blue?

Most brides have heard the saying "something old,something new,something borrowed and something blue." These are things the bride is supposed to wear on her wedding day for good luck.I love the real meanings behind traditions . Here is what I have to share for today's brides that may be curious about what these wedding words mean for their wedding day.
"Something old" symbolizes the couple's friends and family who will remain close during their marriage."Something new"signifies the couple's happy and prosperous future together."Something borrowed" reflects the journey of life and often is an heirloom with deep personal meaning."Something blue"represents fidelity.

Personal Note:My daughter designed her beautiful wedding gown with many strands of swirled handstrung pearls and with a gorgeous neckline that actually looked better without a necklace. She had a delima because she wanted to wear my pearl necklace that my mother and father had given me when I was 17 years old for graduation.I had worn the pearls on so many occassions,she grew up loving them and always wanting to put on.She had a secret pocket sewn into the top of her gown to place my string of pearls in, so she could still wear them down the asle.I was delighted that she thought of that since I had worn the pearls on my wedding day.She put a new twist on tradition that worked out perfectly. I look forward to my granddaughter many , many years from now ,hopefully wanting to wear those same beautiful pearls that her grandmother wore and that her mother wears today.
