Something old, something new…

For some reason, whenever I hear the phrase "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue", I think of the scene in 90210 when Brenda is about to elope with Stuart Carson, but her friends get wind of it, show up and help her get ready. At the last minute, they realize she's missing her important old, new, borrowed, and blue items and outfit her accordingly. Everyone seems, of course, to be armed with the perfect accroutrements, as it may be, but this is television, so I expect nothing less.



I couldn't find the actual scene, so this will have to do. I do like a daily dose of BH-9-er.

I realized recently that while I'd secured something blue (a blue topaz right-hand ring Groomy scored from Overstock), I was missing new, borrowed, and old items…what to do?

Well, I guess my dress is new. My undies certainly are. But what about old and borrowed? All my jewelry has already been picked out and is not old (it's not even real, heehee…keepin' it classy!). I toyed with the idea of wearing really old underwear, but that seemed a little odd (and, again, oh so classy). Even more odd is the idea of wearing borrowed underwear…

By no means do I think my marriage is doomed without these items, but I'd like very much to participate in this tradition, if possible. Any ideas?
