Got my something old......

WeddingPrincess, 14 September, 2009 at 20:26 Posted on Planning 0 13

.........and it's blue!!! I went home to Lincoln to visit family at the weekend and whilst I was at my Nan's and we were talking about the wedding we somehow stumbled onto the topic of a bracelet that she used to wear alot when I was growing up. It had silver and blue hearts linked together all the way round and I used to love it! I had totally forgotten about it until we somehow started talking about it and when I asked if she still had it, she said she did but it had broken years ago! Anyway...long story short...she dug it out, OH fixed it and she gave me and told me to wear it for the wedding!!

I am soooo chuffed because I still love it as much as I did growing up and I had only recently been thinking about what I would have as my something old, new borrowed and blue and now the blue and old bit is sorted! Woooooo! ?

Oh i just realised its borrowed too!!

What is everyone else having as theirs??

    I was talking with my Mum today and she thinks she has an old sixpence I can borrow....so that's the old, borrowed and sixpence sorted out! New will be dress and other bits, and I think I'll get a garter to make up the blue bit!

    Ahh wedding_princess, I was just thinking about you last night, thinking we hadnt seen you in a while! Glad you got that sorted, sounds lovely! I wish I had something like that! I havent even thought about all that! Although thinking about it now, I am borrowing the hoop my mum wore under her wedding dress...I think, subject to trying it on with mine and it looking right, so that could be my something borrowed couldnt it!? Still need all the rest though lol! Will get thinking!

    My old is my nan's heart locket with a picture of her and my grandad in.
    My new is my dress
    My borrowed is undecided at the moment but may end up being my veil that im borrowing form a friend
    My blue is undecided but might have blue shoes or blue undies!
    Oh and the sixpence I have!
    For the hitchers that are doing the sixpence thing are they really having it in their shoe or carrying it on them?

    Thanks for the replies girls they all sound lovely!

    Moya, I know I havent had much chance to get on here recently! Work has been manic (I work in education - first week back etc) and OH's sister had swine flu last week and she has 3 kids (all under 5 bless her!) so we were pretty much busy babysitting all week!! So am trying to get my hitched fix in whenever i can atm!

    Oooh you just reminded me...I need a hoop for my dress, best add that to the list! It could absolutely be your something borrowed! I think the blue is what I would have struggled with if i hadnt got the bracelet as i really didnt want to go down the blue garter route!

    Let me know how you get on!

    FutureMrsCover - I saw ur engagement pics on Facebook - looks like you had a FAB time!!

    Old - a pair of earrings from Mum

    New - my dress and headband

    Borrowed - the earrings mentioned above (am I being naughty by killing two birds with one stone? As they say)

    Blue - I ended up ordering those 'I Do' stickers to put on the soles of my shoes.

    Awww, Wedding Princess that sounds perfect! ?

    I don't really know what I'm having yet!

    Old: My shoes (only a year old but still old-ish)

    New: Dress, veil, jewellery etc

    Borrowed: Thinking of borrowing a piece of jewellery from my Gran. She has severe dementia so won't be at the wedding and would be nice to have something of hers. Don't know where I'd put it though!

    Blue: I think I might get the blue 'I Do' stickers, a bit tacky but hey, they're on the bottom of your shoe!
