TRADITIONS - START NEW ONES OR KEEP THE OLD ONES - part 1

 Its been a while, so lets get in to it.. wedding traditions. What is your call on it?  "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue".  Where did they come from? or lets talk about even having a wedding (that's a good one).

"Something Old" - Most brides who follow the “something old” tradition will borrow a family member’s wedding dress or jewelry, but brides of past centuries had no problem wearing someone else’s bloomers. History states it originated during the mid-19th century “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe,” .  These things are suppose to bring luck to the bride luck for not only her wedding day, but also her chances of becoming pregnant. While “something old” could be almost anything, “something borrowed” was often a pair of bloomers on loan from a person who was already a mother.  Does this make you think differently regarding this tradition?  How would you change it and leave it?
