Old Wedding Rhyme Debunked

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

It’s been said over and over so many times that it’s highly unlikely that even a single person would not know the apparel requirements for the blushing bride on her wedding day. The ol’ rhyme goes something like this:

Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue,
And a sixpence in the shoe.

So let’s break it down, shall we?

  • Something Old - It should come from a happily married woman to insure happiness. Now, for hygiene sake (and common sense), as the happily married woman, don’t offer the hankerchief that you used at your wedding. It’s considered bad luck and, well, kinda gross. But any other item from this happily married woman is fair game.
  • Something New - Any type of apparel would work for this so you don’t need to go out buying anything more since you’ve already got a beautiful wedding gown!
  • Something Borrowed - Borrow gold to insure fortune and wealth although there are other ways that seem, well, a bit more practical. It seems the creator of this cute little rhyme knew a little something about the financial responsibilties of having a wedding!
  • Something Blue - Blue is symbolic of true love and the heavens. That’s nice and blue looks lovely with white so thats wonderful!
  • Sixpence in the Shoe - Luckily the shoe part isn’t required anymore. Brides can wear things like a garter that has a sixpence, which is a dime in the US. Or the bride can have the coin placed in her bouquet or just carried in her wedding purse, something cute like above where the sixpence is also wearing a garter! What a cute match! Oh and the sixpence also insures propserity. Lots of propserity omens!

While some may brush this off as a silly rhyme, others take it to heart. What do you think? Let us know by leaving a comment below about your thoughts. Either way you look at it, it’s still a cute rhyme that is at least fun to play along with!
