The Lucky Silver Six Pence

In Great Britain, there is a well-known tradition of the bride wearing ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe.’ A silver sixpence in the bride's shoe is a traditional good luck wedding gesture and customarily, it is the father of the bride who places the sixpence as a symbol of him wishing her prosperity, love and happiness in her marriage. - Source Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixpence_(British_coin)
