Why do we have that tradition anyway?

Am being matron of honour for my friend next week and just realised I probably ought to have something to hand.

Old was a victorian lace hanky given to me by an "aunt", she was a very old lady friend of my aunt's and I always counted her as such.
New was my dress, and just before we got to the hall I remembered my borrowed and blue so Dad lent me a fiver which I tucked into my bra

Old - a necklace and bracelet that were my Mum's
New - dress
Borrowed - veil and tiara
Blue - I was just leaving for church with my sister and realised I didn't have anything blue, but she said my eyes were blue, and that would be enough.

Most folks find the blue the most difficult - at Kitbit's.

New - dress, shoes
Borrowed - pearl necklace lent my one of Mum's friends.
Blue - garter

Old - er, knickers. To be fair they were in a decent state and I didn't want to spend the whole day trying to de-wegify something small and lacy. I'd worn the same pair when I graduated from university.

Borrowed - silver and pearl pendant from my mother
Old - my prayer book that I'd had since I was 7
Blue - knickers with small blue pattern on
