I’ve been working on getting my something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue for the wedding. I’m almost there! Most of them are related to my accessories, so I thought I’d share some of my pretties for the big day.

Something Old - I had my idea for this for a while. Before my dad’s mother passed away, she told me she was going to leave me her pearl ring. She also told me to make sure my dad gave it to me, because she “knows how he can be.” I finally worked up the nerve to ask my dad about it this weekend, and he went to the safe and got it out for me. After making sure that I was going to take good care of it and inspecting it to make sure the pearls weren’t going to fall off, he finally gave it to me.

The ring

I plan to wear it on a chain around my neck along with my Something New:

It’s a little fish charm with an “r” on it I got on Etsy. It symbolizes Cherry Bomb. Mr. Cannon used to always sing, “Give me back that baby fish! Give me that fish!” to the tune of that McDonald’s commercial when Cherry Bomb was a newborn, so we refer to her as “the fish” fairly often. R is the first letter of her first name.

While I was on Etsy, I also picked up these earrings here for a back up Something New:

Not the best picture, but I was getting pretty annoyed with my camera by the time I took this. Click on the link above for a better picture at the Etsy shop I bought it from.

For Something Borrowed, I have my veil and my headband borrowed from some very special bees - Mrs. Pretzel and Mrs. Cola! The veil:

And the headband:

I am still searching for my Something Blue. I have a sneaking suspicion I will be buying some blue underwear in the near future—unless someone out there has a better suggestion!

Did you do the something old/new/borrowed/blue for your wedding? What were they?
