Coins at Weddings

The coin ceremony at weddings is believed to have originated from Latin. It is performed after the exchange of rings. This tradition started during the Victorian era. There is an old English poem that represents the tradition as:

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

The poem basically describes the wedding coin ceremony and the importance of the coins. The coins in the poem symbolize a good luck token for the bride. It is believed that she would have a happy married life if she carries all of these on her wedding day. “Something old” in the poem represents continuity of the past relationships of the bride with her family. “Something new” symbolizes her forthcoming relationships and wishes for a happy life ahead. “Something borrowed” is used to represent that the bride can depend on her family and friends during difficult times. Also, it is believed that “something borrowed” represents the good fortune in a happy married life of a friend is carried over by the bride.

“Something ...
... blue” reminds of the biblical period when blue color represented purity and loyalty. Gradually, as the time passed by, the tradition of wearing blue changed to wearing only a blue band around the bottom of the dress. But now, in the most modern times, the tradition has moved to wearing a blue or blue-trimmed garter. Finally, “a silver sixpence in her shoe” symbolizes wealth and financial security in the new bride’s future life. The ‘wealth’ is not only financial but also the wealth of a joyful married life ahead.
