Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! July 14, 2008
So I have the new and blue, that would be my wedding dress, both new and blue. Then this spring when I went to visit my grandmother I got the borrowed and old, either it is her mother’s or her grandmother’s (I forget which) wedding band to borrow and wear on the day of the wedding. The ring is so old that the engraving is unreadable and the decoration on the outside is also worn off from time. Well this weekend my sister offered for me to wear blue aquamarine that was given to her by my grandfather on the other side, so I also have an old borrowed and blue 🙂 It is really nice to have a little trinket from each side of my family for the day. My mother’s parents are both long gone and my father’s father is also gone, his mother is the only surviving grandparent and she won’t be there for the wedding, so in a way I will have tokens from them all so in a way, they will be there.
