I got an authentic English silver sixpence from Rennaissance Fair a couple of weeks before the wedding, it went in my shoe.
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

Oh well, here goes:
Something old and borrowed - I wore 2 of the 4 pieces of my mother's engagement jewelry that my dad gave her 45 years ago -- I wore the necklace with diamonds and a drop pearl and her engagement ring on my right hand.
Something new - my dress, shoes, headpiece and veil, etc.
Something blue - I had a blue pendant left for me by one of my best friends when she passed away. I had that added to the handle of my bouquet. It was a wonderful way to honor her and make her part of my day!
