Cultural Traditions - Something Old ... Something Blue ...

We have an old custom is the US, that originated from our English /Victorian ancestors, where it is good luck for the bride to have certain items in her possession: Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue And a silver sixpence in your shoe ... (also said 'a penny is you left shoe') [B]My question is "how many brides still follow this tradition?".:)[/B] Read more about it on Google: [URL]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS209US237&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=something+old,+something+new,+something+borrowed,+something+blue&spell=1[/URL]

Most brides I know still do that. I plan on carrying on the tradition also, i think its good luck. But I plan on adding some untraditional twist to my ceremony.

I'd say most as well. It's actually quite easy to follow... I think that's one of the reasons it persists.

I married within a Cajun family. My bachelorette party was in New Orleans and someone was kind enough to give me a pearl necklace with blue flowers. It was the perfect thing to wear the day of the wedding reception.
