Re: Something Borrowed??

I am borrowing my best friend's veil. And she's happily married (I didn't realize that until reading this thread).

What do you consider new? I have the something old (my great aunt's antique bracelet), and my something blue is my blue topaz necklace.

how about a brooch you can borrow and put on you boquet holder

---

Okay Im totally having an airhead moment here.... whats a brooch? Like a small clip? If its something like that, it would be a good idea!!! Maybe I could put it in my BQ somehow....hmmmmm

---

lolll i have plenty of those moments!! its like a decorative pin, a lot of girls wear them on their jackets etc, my boquet holder has an antique brooch on it, you could borrow one froma friend or grandma etc

---

LoL thanks for filling me in

Ladies, you all have such great ideas!!! I could probably borrow something and put it in my purse. I like the penny in the shoe idea, but then I could see myself walking funny down the aisle bc it would probably bother me as I walked I also like the BQ idea. I think you guys are right- I shouldnt just have my friend buy it and then borrow it.

But what if I didnt get something borrowed... is it considered bad luck??

You could count your dress as your something new.

Yea def! Or even shoes, it could be anything

Re: Something Borrowed??

That is funny! any reason it has to be new?

Here are some ideas I found:

Borrow father's silk handkerchief
- Use aunt's prayer book during the ceremony
- Borrow a long-time family friends' timeshare for your honeymoon
- Borrow the song from the bride's (or groom's) parents' wedding to dance to
- Have the wedding at a borrowed location like the bride's parents' backyard or country club
- Borrow a cell phone
- Use a best friend's strapless bra for the day
- Borrow a headpiece or hair baubles
- Use sister's silver knife to cut the cake with at the reception
- Wear borrowed jewelry from a happily married gal pal
- Use the same wording as the bride's (or groom's) parents' ketubah (Jewish wedding contract)
- Borrow a book from the library that has a poem or reading that will be used in the ceremony or borrow a reading that was used at your sister's wedding
- Use a wedding attendant's sunscreen to protect the bride from the sun during all of those photographs
- Borrow a button-down shirt or robe for the bride to wear while getting her hair and makeup done
- Borrow the flower girl or ring bearer from a friend's wedding

I actually dont have anything borrowed either.. but it can be simple things like borrowing someones perfume or hankerchief to put in your purse?

there are specifics to this? I thought you could borrow from anyone, but now I read it has to be a married couple? Do you have to have it the whole day, or just part of the day.. like when im home getting ready?

---

Yup = Its supposed to be something borrowed from a happliy married couple. Each thing symbolizes something. I forget the details but i have it written down somewhere. I'm sure you can look that up online though.

I dont know what I have for any of it just yet.
