Let's Talk Wedding: Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

This was a tradition that I wasn't going to participate in. Not because I don't like it, but because it was something I didn't want to think about. I didn't want to just pick things so that I had all 4 items on the Big Day. However, my sweet parents and best friend, Michelle, were creative for me! It was a really cool surprise and I opened each item at a bridal shower.

Something Old: My blankie when I was little was made into a hankerchief with my initial embroidered on it. (from mom).Something New: Super cute purse! Michelle found this purse that matched my dress, made a purple flower out of extra fabric used in the wedding, and sewed it on the purse! It was a perfect way to carry everything you see in the picture on the wedding day. (from Michelle). Something Borrowed: I gave this "Scrooge" money clip to my dad when I was little. He said his favorite Disney character was "Scrooge" and I figured he needed a money clip....so it was a birthday or Christmas gift. :) I borrowed this for the wedding! I do believe that when I opened the present, there was a $100 bill with it.....that I kept. ;)
(from dad). Something Blue: The little patch was imbroidered in blue with our monogram and wedding date. I could have sewed it into the underneath part of my dress, but I decided to just to carry everything in my little purse instead. (from the three of them). A couple other things I carried in my purse:

My Orange Ribbon Pin. Two of my close friends died in 2001 in the OSU Men's Basketball Plane Crash. I wanted to carry this in remembrance of them, Pat Noyes and Jared Weiberg.This cross I carried to sybolize my faith in Christ! Who died for our sins and rose again on the third day. The dove represents the Holy Spirit who is a seal of our faith that God gives each of those who believe, to live in us.
