1012 phoebe 結婚 - 六人行

※ 引述《ellinas (abroad)》之銘言：
: chandler當她老爸 phoebe脫下大衣 要走出咖啡店時
: chandler問她 "你不會冷嗎"
: phoebe回說 "I'll be my something blue"
: 這句什麼意思啊?

Q:
Where does the tradition of the bride carrying 'something old, something
new, something borrowed and something blue' in the ceremony come from? Is
it the mother and/or grandmother of the bride who provides these items,
or the bride herself?

A:
The 'something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue,
and a silver sixpence in your shoe' is from an Old English rhyme. The
'something old, something new' refers to the bride's passage from her old
life to her new one and expresses optimism for the future. 'Something
borrowed' symbolizes borrowed happiness (usually from a recent bride or
married woman) and 'something blue' represents purity and fidelity. In fact,
in biblical days, both the bride and groom wore a blue band around the
bottom of their wedding attire to express their faithfulness and commitment
to one another. Finally, the 'silver sixpence' symbolizes good fortune and
prosperity for the couple.

Just about anyone can offer something old, new, borrowed or blue. Often
mothers and grandmothers like to give the bride a token from their own
weddings as something old or something borrowed but the givers can also be
a sister, other relative, or friend. It's a lovely tradition and brides
still enjoy making it a part of their weddings today.
