Something old, new, etc.?

How many of you are doing this? If so, what are your items? I'm curious because it's coming up on my to-do list and I'm not sure I want to put the effort into finding all those things ;)

    Im not doing that....it is an outdated tradition and I feel like it will stress me out more to try and find things to fill those "somethings"

    I had every intention of doing this but completely bombed out.

    Blue: toenail polish- but I didn't have time to paint my nails.  FAIL.
    New: my dress- I guess I actually did this.
    Old: we both found pennies that we were going to carry, one was the year we began dating and the other was 2009 for when we married.  We left these in the car in their envelope.  FAIL.  However, the clip I used in my hair for the wedding was a clip I bought for our first date.
    Borrow: DH was going to let me borrow a bobby pin he ended up with somehow.  FAIL.

    Wow, great ideas everyone! I'm sure at some point my mom and/or sister will ask me what I'm doing and will help me figure it out. I definitely don't have anything borrowed, old, or blue right now. So if it happens, great. If not, oh well.

    I had these I DO stickers in blue on the bottom of my shoes similar to what Natalie did.

    We took some really cute pictures of us lounging in the hotel lobby before the wedding, and I had my feet up on the table and you could see the stickers.
