I have nothing OLD!!

Hey Knotties!

I actually miss you guys. I have been lurking but not really here too much. Any who, I had a conversation with my mom today and she was asking me about the old, new, borrowed and blue thing. I have everything but the old, and I can't think of anything but my bra!!! I am wearing the one that I had on when I tried the dress on for the first time. I have a thing about bras. LOL!!

What was your old? Thanks!!
And the whole time, my future husband was in the room...... image image

    I had antique jewelry.  Or was it vintage jewelry?

    Regardless, it was old.

  • I actually didn't have anything.  I was going to carry my grandmother's purse but I forgot it.
  • My grandma's slip.. but I haven't tried it on with the dress to know if it will work.  My aunt can't find the garter (she is so upset about it).. but I know that would have fit.

    Can you attach an old broach to your bouquet?

  • Me neither.  My family isn't terribly sentimental - they keep remaking old jewelry into new stuff, and just generally not keeping very much.

    I'm to the point where I'm not sure I care anymore.
  • put an old penny in your shoe (or bouquet, sew into dress etc). pennies on wedding days are good luck anyway

  • I'm wearing a diamond necklace that belonged to my great-grandmother... but "something old" isn't really defined any further than that. Can you incorporate a pair of earrings you've had for a long time or something? :)
  • My sister had my mom.

    Now with more wedded bliss.


    I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

  • I'm having the same problem. Myself and most of my family lost almost all of our stuff during Hurricane Katrina, so we literally have nothing old. I'm going to try to maybe find something from a family member, but if not, my "something old" will have to come from circa 2005.

  • My mom told me she has the handherchief her grandmother gave her on her wedding day for something old.  It also has blue lettering on it,  so that I what I will have with me. 


    Family heirlooms are always sentimental but there are pleanty of other options for "something old" if you really care about it. 

    I also like the old penny-


    Something old something new,

    Something  borrowed something blue
    and a sixpence (penny) in your shoe


    is acutally the entire poem so the old penny could cover both the sixpence and the something old.  also a small sentimental something to hold onto.  Maybe from the year you were born? or the year your parents were married? or the year you started dating? you could make the penny's age special for you

  • I had the bonnet that H was baptized in and wrapped it around my bouquet.
