Taking part in the tradition of something old, new, borrowed and  blue has become almost a standard in most weddings.  We all take part in it, but where did it come from? 

It is a popular rhyme that has been used since the Victorian times.  The “something old” is the bond that ties the bride’s family and her old life; “something new” represent the couples new life together and a future of happiness, ”something borrowed” from a happily married women is meant to bring that same happiness to the bride, “something blue” is fidelity and constancy.
