I had a few things that fit into several categories...I never remember what certain of my "official" things were...but here's some...

Old: Diamond earrings given to me by my grandmother for graduation
New: Wedding dress and stuff
Borrowed: Silver bangle belonging to grandmother and silk handkerchief belonging to cousin (which was used in her wedding and both of her sisters' weddings)
Blue: Light Blue perfume by Dolce & Gabbana

I had a penny with the year of my birth in one shoe and a sixpence in the other because I've heard the rhyme go both ways.

[wendalah]

Old--My e and wedding ring (vintage).
New--Most everything else I was wearing that day.
Borrowed--My sister's pearl-drop earrings (she wore them on her wedding day 8 years earlier).
Blue--I fell down on this one. I have blue eyes so I tried to make do with that. Lame, I know.

I also had a 1971 penny from my mom but I forgot to put it in my shoe (I was wearing strappy sandals, which would make it difficult anyway).

[boilermaker]

I love this tradition and was quite excited to "participate".

Old: Maternal grandmother's handkerchief
New: Everything typical
Borrowed: My paternal grandmother's small bible. She carried it at her wedding and I was the 32nd family bride to carry it...and not a single couple who carried it is divorced! Plus, we have all signed the inside of it. I think this tradition is so cool and hope it continues for generations.
Blue: A blue Swarworski crystal tatoo on my hip. DH liked that one.

And my MIL gave me the six pence she wore in her shoe at her wedding. It was nice to have something from DH's family that I can hopefully pass on as well.
