My Something Old

For a long time I wasn't sure what my something old was going to be for the day of the wedding but my Mom and I came up with the idea that I would wear my maternal grandmothers engagement ring. We had forgotten all about it since for some reason my Mom's sister-in-law had been holding on to it, but my Mom was able to get it for me to wear. When she took it the jewelry store, the clerk even made the comment about this being an heirloom and that it's been around for quite some time. I think my Mom said it would be over 60 years old by now and my grandparents were happily married for over 35 years before she passed away. I think this is the perfect something old for me to wear to represent my Mom and my maternal family. The ring itself is beautiful and so different, it's so simple yet elegant in it's own way, I'll be wearing it on my right hand, along with my borrowed headpiece from Bridget, my something blue underwear, and my new wedding dress.
