* You are starting a new life with a new mate and it's quite acceptable to giver her something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Something old; traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship used to make the lace on her gown. Something new; the earrings her parents gave her. Something borrowed; the tiara the Queen lent her for the day. Something blue; a blue ribbon sewn inside the dress.
Blue at weddings derives from a popular rhyme that originated during the Victorian area - "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Lucky Sixpence in her Shoe."Something Old - represents the link to the bride's old life and her family. Something New - signifies the couple's new life together as well as their hope for the future. Something Borrowed - originates from the idea that borrowing something from a happily married woman will impart similar happiness to the new bride. Something Blue - represents fidelity, love, and purity. Lucky Sixpence in her Shoe - signifies wealth, both financial wealth and a wealth of happiness.
