About Me
Hi! I'm Toni. I've been writing since I was five.

My grandfather was a professor then. I remember how I'd be delighted when he'd give me paper left over from his day's lessons, and I'd sit down and doodle, draw and write.

My mother would also take home stacks of paper for recycling. I remember grabbing a pen and putting together a little book of poetry.

I always keep a pen and notebook in my bag in case inspiration hits me. There isn't a day that passes wherein I don't write.

Thank goodness for blogging then. ;) You can also find me at Wifely Steps (http://toni.marikit.net) and Happy Nest (http://blogs.inquirer.net/happynest/).

So, what's your story?

Something old, something new...

"Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue.
And a lucky sixpence in your shoe."


Traditionally, a bride should wear or carry one of each on her wedding day. What does each one symbolize?

Beautiful Bride with Bouquet
Something old: The bride's continuing bond with her past. Ideas: heirloom jewelry, her mother's wedding gown, grandmother's lace, your engagement ring, a family bible.

Something new: Optimism and hope for the new life ahead. Ideas: wedding rings, gloves, handkerchief, shoes, gown.

Something borrowed: Any item lent by a happily married friend or family member so the good luck rubs off on the bride; also means that the bride can depend on her friends and family whenever she needs them. Ideas: jewelry, bag, veil, lipstick, shawl. Don't forget to say thank you!

Something blue: Back then, the color blue stood for fidelity, love, purity. Ideas: garter, flowers, lingerie, blue stones (turquoise, topaz, sapphires, etc.), blue eyeshadow.

Lucky sixpence in your shoe: Wealth for the future. Ideas: A coin from your own currency.

While your marriage is what you make it to be, it doesn't hurt to have a little fun with these charming traditions. Have fun choosing the items for each "something"!
