Theme Color Inspiration for Your Wedding

Where did the wedding custom of "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" come from?

The next line of this old saying actually hints at its origin. The complete phrase is:

Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.

A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. So this wedding tradition is definitely English, and many sources say that it began in the Victorian era. Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. “Something old” symbolizes continuity with the bride’s family and the past. “Something new” means optimism and hope for the bride’s new life ahead. “Something borrowed” is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.

As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, “Marry in blue, lover be true.”

And finally, a silver sixpence in the bride’s shoe represents wealth and financial security. It may date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. These days, a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted, and many companies sell keepsake sixpences for weddings.

A Dream

Things get harder and seems I'm being weaker day by day. I don't know how get through of this. 5 years is my minimum goals. I've got a plan to go to college in here, working, writing, earn some money and get a good job after graduate. I wonder how much I could earn in 5 years. 10 millions, probably? I want to go out from here. It's not like I hate my family or somewhat but I just don't want to live in the same home with them anymore. There's a plenty of strange feeling. like I'm stuck in this absurd place and I'm not going to live here forever, I'm not going to make a gap so they could set me out as they pleased anymore. I'm not a kiddo anymore and I want to live in my own rules.

Keep in your mind it's not because of Red. It's my life, so that action would be my choice. I want a freedom to my own life, that's all I ever wanted.

You know what, Katy Perry's ET song keep banging on my head:

take me, take take take me

wanna be your victim

ready for abduction

hell yeah, I'm ready to go out from here anytime!

Sombre and Lonely

I miss you a lot.

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile, I miss your voice whisper in my ear, I miss your smell of perfume and smoke, I miss how you take me in your arms when we take a walk together, how you clean my spoon and fork before I ate my food. I miss your silly face and your pretty gaze, I miss your touch and how you walk me home every night after we having dinner together.

I'm craving for your kiss and your presence. I miss you so bad and that's why you're the first thing that pops in my head when I wake up in the morning and you're the last thing I was thinking before I go to sleep.

I miss you like crazy and makes me realize how much you meant to me, how much I want you in my life and how I actually love you so.

I never hate myself so bad when I know you're probably sick and I'm not there to take care of you. I was cry when I hear how lonely you become and yes, I hate myself so much to made those mistakes and makes me have to leaving.

Don't give up on me. You said you'll be waiting. Mean it. Please.

I'll find my way to back to you. I promise you.
