The Knot cites an Olde English rhyme for the wedding day tradition of something old something new something borrowed and something blue plus a sixpence in the shoe. The article notes meanings continuity, future optimism borrowed happiness purity love and fidelity and discusses craft ideas for incorporating keepsakes into gowns.
The article notes that dowries started as compensation for a groom's burden to support a wife, with poorer families receiving gifts from friends to help. It contrasts past practices with modern marriage as a partnership, while still describing showers as traditional well wishes before a bride's new journey.
