what do you need a sixpence for? the wedding?

sorry about all the question marks.

it's alright ;)

It's British tradition to put a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe for good luck and prosperity. It comes from that little diddy:

Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in your shoe

My whole family has done it (well, the brides)...I'm going to lend mine out as the "borrowed" perhaps.

What's a sixpence?

And don't worry about the whole cancer thing...my cousin who is like 21 just had some major operation because her ovary had a tumor on it, she's doing fine. I'm sure you will too! :-)

Yeah, I'm only mildly concerned about it. It's just annoying that it's been there for so long and nothing was ever done. I might not be having any problems if they hadn't said something six years ago...Who knows, right?

An old British coin that Enlish brides put in their shoe as a wish for luck and prosperity:

I've got a couple of six pence somewhere I think. We've got lots of old coins.

I would have added you on My Space ages ago, but I thought I'd get in trouble with you. Since I only found out about it through stalkerish activities. Added you now, although I never ever check it.

I'm sure my grandmother and mother are collecting them in high hopes that someday my sister, my cousins and I will find wonderful men and marry them. At least, I'd hope so. I'd feel a little put out if they weren't thinking so positively about my future.

Yeah, I don't really know what myspace is for. I just like to collect people I know. That's it.

I know that there are some weird people on myspace that I've come across. But yeah, mainly just to say that I've got so-and-so myspace friends.

Oh, don't even start with me about the weirdass guys that email me with hopes that I'll come visit them on a whim or something. Or messages like "Hey, you're really cute. Wanna be friends?" Er...not particularly, thanks. I know where that sort of conversation is going.

It'sa British coin that is no longer used that brides put in their shoe for good luck and prosperity. It goes with that rhyme...Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe.

Most don't.

I'm a romanticised traditionalist, so I like all that 'passed-down' stuff.
