And a lucky sixpence for your shoe

We all know the following part of the rhyme:

Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
Something blue

There is apparently a final verse to this little poem: "and a lucky sixpence for your shoe." Leave it to my cute little mother to have a sixpence for my shoe that she's been saving for my wedding day:


Not sure how long I'll be able to comfortably wear that -- for the ceremony, at least. After that, I may have to remove the sixpence for comfort's sake.

There are more details on the back of the card:


She also lent me a diamond stud earring to wear in one of my upper earring holes, so I've got "Something borrowed" covered. That just leaves something blue -- I'm thinking blue toenail polish. ;)

You mean you won't be wearing a racy blue garter belt for Bill to remove during the reception? :)

A blue hankie could work...
