Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

What have friends of yours or members of your family chosen for each one? Someone I know is having an event and it has me wondering.

- Only reason why I know this tradition exists is because of an episode of Friends, as I had nothing else to binge while on an offshore rotation: Each trip involved being on a ship for five weeks straight with shoddy internet connection.
- I did at my wedding, but it wasn’t like it was a big thing. It was something personal that I did for myself.
- I don’t think I’ve ever seen one without that tradition.
Semi related, but I hate how every wedding seems to do the "Love is patient, love is kind" reading. Have some originality....
- Someone I know had a ceremony modeled after the Klingon ceremony from Star Trek.
  
  Its not for me, but at least its not "Love is patient" 🤮
A TARDIS!
Is blue supposed to be something that color, or something sad... I'm not familiar with the tradition
The color seems an odly specific and arbitrary thing to bring, but sad seems... Well kinda sad 😅
- Facinating, thank you so much for the additional historical context!!
- The color, yes.
