When I took on part time job of wedding ceremony,
I heard a wondering bridal rhyme. The traditional rhyme was originated in
England. It has adopted in Europe and the United States for more than 200
years. It came from the following song of Mother Goose:
Something
old,
something new,
something borrowed,
something blue,
and
a silver sixpence in her shoe.
For example, a bride wears jewelry goods
from mother for something old, new white gloves for something new, handkerchief
borrowed from her friend who are enjoying a happy marriage life for something
borrowed, and a garter with blue ribbon for something blue. The rhyme shows
that a bride would be happy by wearing them. I want to do it as a surprise when
my best friend gets married.
Sounds good! :)

ReplyDeleteSo cute. Sounds a nice wedding.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that rhyme many times, but I didn't know the last part about a 'sixpence in her shoe'. That coin doesn't exist anymore, so it would be hard to do that part of the tradition!
