Being a country of different cultural races, there is a great variety of wedding styles in the United
States. However, the majority of weddings nowadays still follow a number of traditions. One of the traditions
dating back to the nineteenth century is about what a bride should wear on her wedding day. It is commonly
believed that on her wedding day, the bride should carry with her 'something old, something new, something
borrowed, and something blue'. This is because each of these things has a special meaning for the bride on
this big day.
When a bride wears 'something old; it reminds her of her family and the past. Thus, some brides may
wear their mother's wedding dress or a piece of her jewelry. 'Something new' that the bride wears means
good luck and hope for a happy future with her husband. This new item is usually a pair of new shoes, or it
can be the wedding dress or something else.
When the bride wears 'something borrowed; it symbolizes the help and support she gets from her
friends and her family whenever she needs it. An example of 'something borrowed' can be a married friend's
bridal veil or a friend's handkerchief.
'Something blue' means trust and faith between the bride and the groom. Nowadays, some brides are
creative with this item. For example, they may have their fingernails painted blue. Nevertheless, the most
popular blue item is the garter that the bride wears on her leg.
