Something borrowed?

I know this isn't a big deal, but I just realized I have the something blue, new & old, but not borrowed.  Did you do the blue/borrowed/new/old thing?  If so, what did you do for the borrowed?  I can't think of anything sentimental..my "old" is FI's grandmother's locket w/ a picture of his dad & my grandpa.  It'll be wrapped around my bouquet, but I'm having it all preserved so we're keeping the locket.  I'm stuck.

    My "old" was also my "borrowed" and it sounds like you could do the same thing. 

    Mine was the pearl necklace I wore.   They were my neighbor "Mom's"... i.e. my Maid of Honor's Mom who we lived nextdoor to for the first 17 years of our lives.

    I borrowed a handkerchief from Ben's grandmother and carried it with my bouquet.  I promptly lost it after the ceremony.  Good thing it wasn't sentimental or anything.

    Yeah, I might be over thinking it.  I was considering the locket as just the "old" since we are not giving it back. 

    I hadn't thought of a handkerchief..that would be good one especially since my eyes turn into a fountain.

    My "borrowed" were a pair of pearl and diamond earrings of my mother's that she let me wear for the wedding.

    Stephie - I just thought I'd share since you gave me the idea for the handkerchief..I called my grandma last night on my way home from work & talked to her about using one of my late gpa's hankies.  She has one that she used for her baptism about 3 years ago & offered it to me.  It's perfect!  I'm getting teary already so I'm sure it'll be useful then, too.  :)  Now I just have to make sure I hand it back after the ceremony is over or I will lose it for sure. 

    Anyway, thank you so much for mentioning that!

    Awww, glad I could help!  Yes, I HATED that I lost it but it ended up being no big deal.  But there is SOOO much going on right afterwards so make sure to give it to a designated person so that she gets it back.  If it had been my something old, I would have been heartbroken.

    When I was married the first time, I carried my great-grandmother's handkerchief.  I wanted to carry that same one this time too, but I found out she had been buried with it.
