The Origin of, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!"

The "something old" signifies the couple's friends who will hopefully remain close during the marriage. "Something new" symbolizes the newlyweds' happy and prosperous future together. The "something borrowed" is often lent by the bride's family and is an object that is an heirloom with sentimental value. The custom of the bride wearing "something blue" originated in ancient times where the bride wore a blue ribbon in her hair to represent fidelity.

About me

I'm Hillary
From NY living in New Mexico, United States
I'm a Christian bride and blessed mom of two beautiful children. I got married to the love of my life on August 11th. We've been together for over 9 years. I was born and raised in NY and I miss my home. I love the sound of rain.:) I hate the smell of butter cooking.:-P I adore all types of animals. I have 2 cats that I love very much. I wish I could have more animals, but this is good for now. We also feed the birds outside and I have a squirrel that comes, too! We have to feed God's creatures! Everyone needs LOVE and food. :)
