That's so cute and I really love your twist to wear it as an anklet!
I really hadn't thought about doing it until my mom came to me and gave me hers that she wore in her shoe and asked if I would wear it. It was really special and so I said yes and am excited to wear it for the ceremony! It'll be my "something borrowed" because she wants it back to save for my little sister. I don't have a picture but it's a really traditional one.
I think I am. It'll take me a while to find one that seems significant! Maybe I can find one with a panda. haha fat chance!
both a friend of mine and myself put a penny in our shoe from the year we were born. maybe we started our own twist on the tradition??
penny in my shoe:
I did. I found out that the British sixpence stopped being almost all silver in 1920, so I went for an 1820 one. Given that NotFroofy is British, I didn't even consider a sixpence from another country.
I did. A friend of mine had it so I wore it. But I wore sandals, so it was actually taped to the bottom.
Mine is in my mom's jewelry box in this sweet tulle pocket from her own wedding, and it's waiting for my wedding! It's a silver sixpence from England, and I know it was a gift of a friend of hers prior to her wedding! When I was a little girl she told me that it would be mine someday!
I have just bought one from Ebay with my birth year on it.....yes i will wear it.
i also bought 4 other sixpences for my bridesmaids.....to put inside their trinket box gift i bought them. ok they wont wear them in their shoe, but i have given them them for luck....
I probably will have one on my person, but I don't know if I will put it in my shoe. It sounds uncomfortable. If you are someone who has tried it, did it bother you at all?
I did this. I had a beach wedding and the sixpence didn't bother me at all. I was wearing closed-toe pumps so it was safely tucked in my shoe.
I married an Aussie in Australia, so I used an Australian one. I purchased a 1911 sixpence since we got married in 2011. It was perfect as our theme was 'Edwardian day by the seaside.'
I am very glad I did it as it's a great keepsake. I also found silver Aussie sixpence earrings in a shop the day before the wedding, so I bought those too. They're a lovely and wearable reminder of the wedding.
I am doing it!
I got mine from:

If so, show me your sixpence! I've been looking online, there are many different styles.
I'm going to get this style sixpence, I think the turtle is perfect for a beach wedding! (I'm going to wear it on an anklet since I'm getting married barefoot, but I figure that's close enough to "in my shoe"!)
