Something old: my very first lost baby tooth sewn into a handmade eyelet bag by my mom and then tied into the bustle under my dress.
Something new: dress, veil, etc.
Something borrowed: pearl earrings from my grandma.
Something blue: this was a tough one. At the last minute one of my bridesmaids drew a tiny heart on my pinky with a blue pen.
And apparently there's another part to that saying that includes a sixpence in your shoe. My dad found me a sixpence at a local antique shop. The proprietor asked if it was for a wedding and when my dad said it was, the man gave it to him for free. So throughout the ceremony and for part of the pictures, I had a sixpence in my shoe.

I tossed the six pence in my wife's shoe. I don't like the garter toss. I just think it's appropriate in a church to toss a garter.

One of the big bride-marts in Phoenix gives away sixpence to everyone who tries a dress on. No one I know has ever bought a dress there, but they all make that their first stop to get the free sixpence.
How did I miss the whole sixpence thing? I'm glad my mom knew about it. Otherwise our marriage would be doomed.
OK. I'm a goober. What the heck is a sixpence?
