Hi there, Happy Wednesday!
Today's post addresses the "Something Old & Something Borrowed" elements I'll have on the day of our wedding from the following wedding tradition of:
"Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe"
Although this tradition is common amongst weddings when I look back at the weddings I have attended not only did I not know what the bride's something "old, new, borrowed or blue" was, but I did not know the significance of their pieces (if they had them) either. Maybe it is not customary to share such details but the two elements I'm going to tell you about today are pretty special and I think are worth sharing.
Something Old:
My something old is actually from my Papa (my Mom's Dad) who passed away when I was 2 1/2. There is a hankie in our family that my grandfather had the day he married my grandmother. That hankie has since been used as an element in almost all the grandkids' weddings since. My Aunt now has the hankie and has offered it to me for use in our wedding. The thought of having something so special with me that has been used as an element in so many important weddings in our family gives me goosebumps. I'm so excited!
Something Borrowed:
My something borrowed comes to me from my sister-in-law Stephanie. I will be borrowing her veil and am very excited about this too! As most of you who read this know, our family is pretty close, so to have something like this from my sister-in-law who I consider another "sister" is going to be really neat!
Now onto your YouTube video of the day; meet Sophia Grace & Rosie. These girls guest star on the Ellen show and I love them, they are hilarious and absolutely adorable! Enjoy, see you Friday!
