So it seems most people do the;

"Something Old,

Something New,

Something Borrowed,

Something Blue"

But pretty much nobody says the final line or even does the old tradition:

"And a silver sixpence in her shoe" these days.

I just wanted to know if anyone is doing this? I've seen a thread where ladies are using sixpences, but rather just for luck than actual tradition and not in their shoes either lol.

I've bought a silver sixpence from etsy and will definitely have it in my shoe on the day and wanted to know whether I'm not alone in this? :)

@tksjewelry: Cool, glad I'm not the only one! :)

@mink:

You do? I have yet to find one that mentions it. I'll keep looking lol :)

  @DeathByDesign:

Yay! Glad there's a few people popping up who are doing it also, especially sepcifically IN THE SHOE yaaaaay! :D

@almost mrs: I love that! It makes it extra special! How lovely! :) I'm also taping mine, just so it doesn't rattle around lol

@Coffee cup: Ooh I haven't heard of that...I'll end up having a coin in each shoe now lol!

@MelBel:  I couldn't find anyone else who was doing it either, it was like it had faded from existence but I thought it might be because I'm English or something. It's nice you have one of sentimental value :) Oh and thank you for telling me it's the left shoe, I didn't even know that :)

@Missbliss: Aww it's nice to see so many people with sentimental sixpences, and especially nice that your mother already used it for the same thing!

@UpstateCait:
That's lovely that she had them intended for you both right from birth and that's a good way of getting round the discomfort lol

Thanks everyone for your replies :)

I thought it would be uncomfortable in my shoe so I had a cutesy little sheer fabric holder that held it, which was attached to the back of my shoe. 

Random fun facts:
-something old is to remind the marrying couple where they come from, and the family history they represent
-something new symbolizes the couples new life together, and hope of health, wealth, and prosperity. (togetherness & success)
-something borrowed is supposed to indicate that whatever the couple will encounter, they can count on help from their family/friends
-something blue is to symbolize purity (it used to be the color of purity, before white claimed that title) and loyalty/modesty/love
-sixpence in her shoeà I’ve heard of this one two ways: one it is an offering to (I honestly don’t remember who), and is supposed to insure fertility.  Or, I’ve also heard that it’s supposed to bring them financial stability. 

Also- rain on your wedding day is good luck and symbolizes prosperity.  Glad to say, I was married on thee hottest, wettest (6 inches or something ridiculous like that between midnight and nine am - it was dry that year!), day of the summer. 

I bought the sixpence off of ebay a few weeks ago, it was only like $2.00

I'm wondering now, how am I going to have this coin in my shoe without being uncomfortable?

I have a sixpence from the year of my mum's birth that I shall be attatching on the outside of my shoe (I am customising my shoes with buttons, so it should look cute alongside the buttons)

I think it's a lovely tradition that many brides don't consider.

i did it and i forgot it was there most of the day. i used double sided tape so it would stick to the shoe without falling out
