    Old...I'm not sure yet. I think we have a hankie that's been passed around between some of my girlfriends that have gotten married. New...everything Borrowed...Jewelery Blue...I was going to undie but I think I might have to wear spanx so I'm lost for other ideas.  Maybe jems on the bottom of my shoes?Jennie Lee...March 20th is the BEST!  We're getting married at Embassey Suites Downtown.  What about you guys?

    old and borrowed: fur wrap that belonged to my great grandmother and pearl necklace that belonged to FI's great grandmother new: dress, shoes, and FI told me to "not worry about earrings"blue: haven't got that far yet.  and don't forget the penny!  in England it's a sixpence for your shoe so one of my awesome friends suggested I get a sixpence from Queen Victoria's reign (because of my name). You can get old coins on ebay and they're actually pretty cheap (i spent $6).  i'm overly excited about it

    I like the tradition, but didn't want to go typical, so we are incorporating it as our Drink Menu at the bar: Something Old: (I think we are ging an old fashioned) Something New: Elderflower Martini (made with a new liquor we found) Something Borrowed: French Kiss Martini by Bartini - Grey Goose Vodka topped with Champagne and strawberries Something Blue: Bombay Sapphire and Tonic (Bride's favorite beverage) I thought it would be a fun twist.

    I love this tradition! I did an old hankercheif that came from my husband's grandma, a new dress (and everything!), a borrowed car to get to the church from the reception, and blue undies.
