The Old English rhyme "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in Your Shoe" is a traditional wedding day poem that originated in England during the Victorian era. The rhyme is intended to bring good luck to the bride on her wedding day, with each "something" representing an item to be given to her before she walks down the aisle:

Something old: Represents the bride's connection to her family and past, such as a locket or a piece of clothing from a loved one
Something new: Represents good luck and success in the bride's new life
Something borrowed: Represents borrowing happiness, luck, and fertility from a successful married couple
Something blue: Represents purity, love, and fidelity
A sixpence in your shoe: Represents prosperity
