"Something old" is the first line of a traditional rhyme that details what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck: Something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue,and a [silver] sixpence in her shoe. The old item provides protection for the baby to come. The new item offers optimism for the future. The item borrowed from another happily married couple provides good luck. The colour blue is a sign of purity and fidelity. The sixpence — a British silver coin — is a symbol of prosperity or acts as a ward against evil done by frustrated suitors.

Deze voorwerpen zouden de bruid geluk brengen. Het gebruik is afkomstig uit de Engelse folklore, maar is ook in Nederland en België bekend geworden en overgenomen. De tekst van het gedicht luidt: Something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue,and a sixpence in her shoe. De vertaling luidt: Iets ouds, iets nieuws, iets geleends, iets blauws en een muntje in haar schoen. (nl)
  • Quelque chose de vieux (Something old) est le premier vers d'une comptine traditionnelle anglaise qui liste ce que la mariée doit avoir sur elle lors de son mariage afin de lui porter chance : Les Anglophones se réfèrent souvent à ce poème sous le nom des "Quatre quelque chose", en omettant le cinquième vers.

  • Något gammalt (engelska: something old) är de första orden i en engelsk ramsa som beskriver hur en brud bör klä sig för att bli lycklig. Den engelska texten låter: Something old,something new,something borrowed,something blue,and a sixpence in her shoe. Traditionen är levande i Storbritannien som till exempel på Kate Middletons bröllop med Prins William. Symboliken skulle kunna vara: * Något gammalt som minne av brudens tidigare liv * Något nytt som tecken på ny ordning * Något lånat för att behålla gamla vänner * Något blått symbol för hoppet eller en bra framtid.
