Something Blue: Wedding Traditions, Superstitions, and Sayings
Something Blue: And old saying with a new spin
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a Silver Sixpence in your shoe."
This rhyme originated in the Victorian times and is still practiced by some to this day. A silver sixpence has been replaced by a penny in the shoe due to how difficult it is to find a silver sixpence. (Quoted from The Wedding Planners of Canada)
