Something old. Something NEW!

Something old. Something new. Something borrowed.  Something blue.

Going to great lengths to live out this tradition?  Why not make it part of your ceremony.  Designate four lucky people to be invited to bring you each item, one at a time, as the officiant describes the meaning or its story.  Do it as a complete segment of your ceremony (all four items presented in a row) or piece by piece at different times in the ceremony.

Example:  Is your "something old" great grandmother's handmade lace handkerchief?  Have your matron of honor carry it down the aisle for you.  The officiant can then invite her to present it to you at the beginning of your ceremony, just after you arrive at the altar -- "to catch any tears of joy that may flow while exchanging your vows."

Better yet, your matron of honor is reading this and sets it up as a surprise!  :)
