Something blue

Lucky Dog — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 01:34:19 GMT

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

Did you have a something blue at your wedding (or any of the other things)?

My blue was the garter.

I think I had all of those but it's been so long that I can't remember.

Mine was a Blue Sapphire Ring my Mom had given to me years before.

She passed away a few years before I got married. On the day of my wedding I sat

down closed my eyes and thought of the memory of that day she gave me the ring, then I slowly slipped it on my right hand. That was the final touch I needed.

Me too, garter. I guess a lot of them were blue at the time!

I had none of those things. My wedding was non-traditional and small.

My engagement ring has a sapphire as the main stone--September girl.

My parents also gave me a necklace that was my grandmother's for my birthday that was just 2 months before my wedding and it was a sapphire stone as well. The borrowed was a penny in my shoe from my roommate from college.

Old was the hoop slip that I wore under my full gown, new was my beautiful lace gown, borrowed my Mom's pearl drop earrings and wore a blue garter. I was a blushing bride 51 years ago this March when the photographer told me to pull up my gown to show off the blue garter as my dh and my 3 bridesmaids looked on. I was so sure that my gown was up to my waist. I still have the blue garter & It has our wedding date engraved on it.

My wedding bouquet was multi color bright tropical flowers which included blue iris for my something blue. I also wore an ankle bracelet that had one little blue glass bead on it.
