The Origami Of My Dream Wedding

Something New, Something Old, Something Borrowed & Something Blue

So they say.. you need something new.. something old .. something borrowed.. and something blue.. for your wedding..??  I’ve heard about this.. for a long, long time.. even before my sister got married. So here i’m wondering.. why did this good old tradition mean..??  When I asked the man.. about it.. he answered..  “how would I know..??  yer the woman..!! “   MEN..!!!

Anyway.. this tradition is actually meant.. to bring the bride some good luck.  With each of the required things.. they are meant to represent something different.. for the bride .. and for the years to come.  It should be easily incorporated into the wedding gown.  Even though this tradition is old.. they are something that brides of today… still do.. during their wedding.. as far as I know.

So how do one find all the above..?? And what i chose .. to use for my own wedding.

Something old : I choose to use a necklace that was given to me by my mom to be worn.. during my wedding ceremony.

Something new : I will have a new piece of pearl bracelet to go with my necklace.. during the wedding ceremony.. because it symbolizes a new start of our life together.

Something borrowed : A pearl earring borrowed from a girlfriend.. who had a very successful marriage for the last 40 yrs.

Something Blue :  A light blue garter was what i was told to get.. and that must be the easiest.

Bridal Registry

I really think that having a bridal registry is the best. That way .. you will never get 10 bedsheets.. or 5 frying pans .. and pots and a shitload of stuff.. you never care to use or buy. Never was really familiar with an online buying stuff some 15 yrs ago but got into it really quick when a girlfriend of mine got married in Rhode Island, Providence. Having a wedding registry serves 2 purpose and it makes everyone happy.  You get what you want.. and your guests, friends, relatives and family get to spend within their limit without feeling embarrassed.

I liked Macy’s bridal but i’m gonna look for a few before deciding.. so if you see a bridal registry here.. don’t be too surprised.  But if you are a friend or family .. of course head over.. and send me a gift.. mauahhaha!!!  Hmmm.. should i have a separate registry for the man..??
