Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed . . . Well, You Know the Rest

There are so many projects that I'm in the middle of right now that I can't wait to share with you guys. For now, I'll let you in on all of my "somethings" that I've gathered for the big day.

Not the actual ring, but it looks similar to this.

Something old: One day a few months ago I was at my mom's house. She was giving me an old tin to possibly use in my wedding, so I started cleaning out all of the stuff in it. I found a delicate little ring with a row of diamonds across the top. My mom had never seen it before, but she assumed it had belonged to her grandmother, my great-grandma. We're still not sure how old the ring is or what it symbolized, but my mom now wears it every day. I asked if I could borrow it for the wedding, and she happily obliged.

Something borrowed: A Nu-bra, from a friend who got married last year and wore it with her wedding dress. TMI? Oh well.

Something blue: Mrs. Perfume helped me to come up with the idea of replacing the gold chain on my locket with a blue silk string. I ransacked a local craft shop, and the closest thing I could come up with was some sparkly, pale blue embroidery thread.

So I guess I've got all my bases covered.

Are you participating in this tradition? What are your "somethings"?
