old/borrowed - a bracelet my great-grandma, grandma, mom, sister wore in their weddings
new - my dress, shoes
blue - TBD
FMIL just offered something old/borrowed, but didn't specify anything. I think she's saying, "if you want something old/borrowed from our side of the family, I can find something for you." I think it'd be really sweet to have something from FI's side. I'm looking for advice on how to respond. Here are my thoughts:
1) I already have something old/borrowed, but could I shift the bracelet to "borrowed" and tell her there's room at the inn for "something old" or visa versa?
2) If I say I'm open to it, what if I really don't like what she offers? Do I wear it anyway? How would you say no? (Am I a terrible/shallow person for thinking this? Please put me in my place if so.)
2) If I tell her I'm all set for old/borrowed, what are good ideas for "something blue"? Unfortunately, we're in opposite parts of the country so we can't go pick something out together.
WWYD?
