Something Blue in Baltimore 

We all want something blue at our wedding celebration, but do you know where this began? The full saying,” something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe,” is an old English wedding proverb from the Victorian Era inviting brides to wear an object symbolizing each “something.” These objects protect her during the ceremony and promise a long, happy marriage to come. Somehow the keepsakes were carried with the bride down the aisle (in her dress, veil, jewelry, or bouquet) offering a line of defense to the couple. It was customary for the women in a bride’s life to gift her items to pass along the fortune of their marriages. Today, it can be a romantic gesture for the couple to offer each other gifts as a toast to their belief in the ability to make their own luck. Some couples even combine the borrowed, blue, old, and new in one object such as a ring. Let City Cruises Baltimore provide the ultimate “something blue” to elevate your wedding event with the backdrop of the beautiful blue calming waters of the Patapsco River to toast your love and your future.
