The full version of the rhyme is said to be:
Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.
These are all basically “good luck charms” for the bride on her big day:
Something old representing continuity; something new offers hope for the future; something borrowed is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride; something blue stands for love, as the colour blue has been long connected to weddings and a sixpence in your shoe is a wish for good fortune in the marriage.
If you are looking for a modern marriage celebrant for your Whitsunday wedding, maybe I could be your "something blue"?!
