British centennial wedding custom

Lao Lan's century-old wedding customs are new and old, new and borrowed. Lan "has a history of hundreds of years, and many brides were put forward on the wedding day." Prepare "old, new, borrowed and blue" clothes and teach them to wear them slowly in the passage. Everyone has his own unique meaning, but the newlyweds who can bring good luck and wealth, have you ever wondered what this sentence means? What is the origin? What does each mean? From Victoria

The original statement: "old things, new things, some borrowed things, some blue things, your shoes, put a silver coin of sixpence." "

The old bride can wear the same old clothes, which is a symbol of her historical relationship with her family and her past life. Many brides wear a piece of jewelry handed down from the family as an "old brand" choice. Some brides wear their mothers' or grandmothers' wedding dresses. They use old things or borrowed things.

The newly dressed bride has achieved success in some new things and hopes to have a new symbol of life and marriage. If the bride buys a wedding dress, it may be her "new", not any other new clothes. "New" is often the simplest way.

Borrowed clothes should have a happy ending. Married friends borrowed some, saying that their happiness would benefit you and bring lasting happiness to your marriage. Bride, clothing supplies, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or a borrowed information beaded handbag.

Blue is wearing blue, from biblical times, but blue wedding dress represents purity, loyalty and love. With the passage of time, this tradition of wearing a blue wedding dress later evolved into a blue hem seam to decorate the bride's wedding ring, and then evolved into a modern common practice-the blue of the bride's garter.

& gt Putting a sixpence silver coin on the bride's left shoe means that it has become a symbol of wealth, representing not only wealth, but also the attributes of happiness and a happy marriage. Today, many brides even know sixpence, which is often not enough for modern weddings. However, if the bride wants her wedding, including this project, she will wear garters and other wedding supplies, and invite many companies to sell sixpence silver coins.

Some more traditional brides put a lot of thought into clothes. Traditionally, women in the same family wear the same piece of jewelry.

Brides are not bound by tradition, but they will follow it at the request of others. If they don't want to cover everything, they can carry a small beaded handbag and put two handkerchiefs in it-they can buy a new white handkerchief and borrow a blue handkerchief from home to make it "new"-white handkerchief, "old, borrowed and blue"-blue handkerchief for wedding singing, just to wipe away tears of joy.

The wedding custom of "something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue" has existed for centuries. Many brides will ask if they collected old, new, borrowed, blue and brought things for their weddings, because they took the aisle. Carry or wear tradition, saying that newlyweds bring good luck and wealth. Have you stopped to think about the real meaning of this argument? What is the origin of the project and what does each project represent? The original saying can be traced back to the Victorian era and the country, "There are old, new, borrowed and blue things in your shoes." "Old things ... the bride can wear old things or old things, and she will continue to be with her family and continue her past life. Many brides will wear a piece of jewelry handed down from the family as their old project. Some brides in wedding dresses wear clothes worn by their mothers or grandmothers. In many cases, the old things may borrow something new ... a successful representative who wears new clothes, and wishes the new bride in her new life and marriage. The bride's wedding dress is new and can represent her new project, but the "new" things that can be used in any project are usually the easiest to do. The borrowed projects should be borrowed by married friends, who are happy to end them. Their happiness will benefit you and your marriage will bring lasting happiness. Some brides will borrow a dress, jewelry, a handkerchief or a beaded handbag. Something blue ... can be traced back to the Bible. Wearing a blue wedding dress represents purity, loyalty and love. Over time, this situation has changed. Wearing a blue dress, only wearing the modern ring at the bottom of the bride's wedding dress, blue decoration is common for brides to wear blue garters. A silver sixpence on the bride's left foot as a symbol of wealth. What I mean here is not only economic prosperity, but also happiness and happiness in her married life. I'm afraid many brides don't know a sixpence, which is a part of this tradition that is not often used in modern times. However, if the bride wants her wedding, she buys sixpence silver. Many companies sell garters and invitations. Some brides, which are more traditional wedding supplies, may need a lot of care for each kind of information. This may be because the traditional women in the family wear the same dress as the traditional bride, but they can still choose to customize others'. If they don't want many things, they can just bring a beaded handbag and two handkerchiefs-they can buy a new white handkerchief and a blue handkerchief borrowed from their family, which will provide them with new things-white handkerchiefs, some old ones, some borrowed ones and blue ones "-
