Something Old, Something New...

This will be my second marriage (my FI's second marriage as well).

What is the 'proper' etiquette for the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue?  Do we bypass this portion or can we (as repeat brides) participate in this fun tradition?

    Congratulations!!!

    As the ladies who have been on the boards longer than I will tell you - there are no rules!!  Do what you want and what makes you happy.  Celebrate your love and union how you want.

    I didn't do that, but if you want to - go ahead!  Might be fun to assemble all the pieces.

    I'm with the other ladies that say, "There are no rules. Do what makes you and FI happy."

    I'm not sure why this is a tradition that I want to keep, so for my something old: a handkerchief that my great-grandmother tatted lace onto; my something new: my necklace and earrings; my something borrowed: ??? I haven't found anything yet; my something blue: a ring that FI gave me for my birthday (it'll hold the place of my e-ring in a few weeks when he takes it to have it soldered to my wedding band prior to our ceremony).

    Honestly, you can do what you want and skip what you want.  And the old, new, borrowed and blue thing is easier than most in that regard, because your guests are not even going to notice you're doing it unless you tell them.

    I like that tradition, and I certainly don't thing there's anything wrong with doing it for your second wedding.  Have fun with it.

    I agree with the other ladies, if you want to do it go for it.  It's your day.  I thought about doing the same thing and then I decided to look up Irish wedding traditions.  I found a few different things that I think I'm going to incorporate ( a horseshoe for good luck which I'm going to pin on the base of my bouquet.  putting bows along the path from the house to the church, taking a different road leaving the church than when arriving etc.) so I may not have all the something old, something new, . but, I'll at least I'll have the elements that have some meaning for me.

    Good luck and have fun with it.  .
