What is your “something Borrowed?”

Something Old: My grandmothers wedding ring she gave me several years ago on my right hand
Something Borrowed: My moms white gold and diamond earrings
Something New: Wedding band/Dress/Shoes/Pearl Necklace... all of the above lol
Something Blue: Garter

I’m not much for tradition, but this is one I’m actually doing. My aunt has my grandma’s ring so I’m hoping to borrow it and wear it on my right hand. Their wedding date is the same as our first date so I think it’s extra special. Plus she didn’t see him for 3 years while he was in the South Pacific in WWII and after they died my aunt got a box of 700(!) letters that my grandpa had written my grandma while he was gone. He couldn’t save hers of course but she did. They were so romantic which is not how I knew my grandpa! It was like reading a novel, just amazing. I rambled a bit there but I think the ring would be a good thing to have with me while we get married

Oh and forgot to add they were so in love their whole life, lived to their 80s! So I’m hoping we’re like them.

Such a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing. Your something borrowed sounds wonderful.

My something borrowed was from my cousin who is happily married - it was a diamond bracelet.

How about a bracelet?? Im borrowing my stepmoms earrings

FMIL is lending me her blue sapphire bracelet day-of.

My mom let me borrow two matching gold bracelets my dad bought her in their first couple years of dating. If I’m not mistaken, she wore them at their wedding. The day after our wedding, she gifted me the bracelets

My something borrowed and old is my Grandmother’s necklace. My Mom’s worn it everyday since she passed, so it means a lot that she’s loaning it to me and I think it means a lot to her that I want to wear it on my wedding day.

Something old: pearl necklace my mother gave me on my 21st birthday
Someyhing new: dress, earrings, veil
borrowed: hairpin from MOH
Blue: I was going to use my blue converse, but I decided to just have those for the reception, SO a medallion that my grandparents brought back from one of their mission trips to Egypt- I was going to carry it with me anyway

My "something borrowed" is my cousin's hair band she wore for her wedding. Luckily it goes really well with my dress too.
As for the rest, I don't know what my something old is yet. I'm thinking I want my something new to be a really nice perfume... I'll buy it the day before. My something blue will be my shoes.

Oh my gosh!! This is so funny and clever! I love that!

Personally I despise the color blue (worked at best buy for six years, five days a week. Blue uniform). So we are forgoing tradition in that aspect.

I asked my aunt to wear her head piece from her wedding! We're both really excited about it. But now I'm not sure if it will match my jewelry. If it doesn't work out, I suppose I can consider my grandmother's jewelry borrowed as well as old, as I'm technically borrowing it from my mom. It's kind of a stretch though!
