Is everybody having the traditional "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"? If so, what are you having?

My old was a necklace from a deceased family member, new was my dress and shoes, borrowed was *also* the necklace, blue was my garter. We didn't really stick to traditional anyway, I just thought it would be fun to do. Hence why I used the same item for two. Hope this helps.

I did.
Something old was my nan's ring that I wore after the ceremony & a broach that I pinned onto my bouquet. Something new was everything else
Something borrowed was a tiara I lent off my friend.
& My something blue was done by the girl who did my wedding nails, she stuck a blue gem to the bottom of my shoe!
But also found a hidden secret something blue after my wedding... Hidden on one of the layers of my princess wedding dress there was a patch of blue stitched on, we didn't realise until getting it dry cleaned haha!
