hold to the truth,
and speak without fear.

"A Lucky Penny in My Shoe"

penny and shoe 2

The old-wives tale of putting a penny in the shoe of a woman on her wedding day comes courtesy of an old Victorian rhyme. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe." These were all superstitions that were requests for good luck for the bride. However, when using a silver sixpence became impossible to do, finding a penny was easier and so people made a substitution. Now the saying has changed to, "and a lucky penny in the shoe." The penny was intended to be worn in the shoe of the bride to ensure that the newly married couple would always have wealth.
