GOOD LUCK !

A beautiful bride on her wedding day!

Cultural traditions (followed for hundreds of years) state that a bride will have good luck if she follows the recipe stated in the old English rhyme:

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

A Sixpence?

The sixpence was introduced in 1551 as a silver coin during the reign of Edward VI. The coin featured a facing portrait of the king and a rose along with the denomination VI. This coinage tradition continued up to Elizabeth II in 1967. Sixpence circulated after decimaliazation of Britain's coinage as 2.5 new pence, but inflation and a lack of encouragement in its use led to it being finally withdrawn from circulation in 1980. Sixpence are becoming harder to find!!

 


Do you know a bride who would like a sixpence on her wedding day? Or attendants and family who would like one as a keep sake?



Sixpence coins are shiped in a small blue envelope with the traditional poem attached. (Sixpence of George II 1757, shown above)
