Old Wedding Tradition

Hi,
I want to tell you all about an old wedding tradition a friend of mine is incorporating in her wedding thanks to a company called By Judy. Below is text copied directly from the web page (www.ontheline.com/sixpence)

"This famous old good luck wedding tradition was never completely followed in America since we did not use a sixpence in our currency. But now, the promise of a lifetime of joy, happiness, and good fortune for the bride can be fulfilled with the addition of a genuine English sixpence coin for her "shoe."

This imported English coin is no longer being minted, nor is it even in circulation, making it a very special keepsake. Moms, aunts or friends can give the bride a coin from the year of their own wedding, wishing her the same long life of togetherness that truly represents the bonds of matrimony. Coins can be selected from 1953 through 1967. It may also be the "something borrowed" if it is loaned to friends or when starting a family tradition.

Perfect for framing, the 5x7 card to which the coin is attached, has side panels which can later be folded to the back, keeping forever a record of the bridal party and the personal wishes of the sender, or as a permanent record of the brides who use the lucky sixpence. "

This tradition would be perfect for a Renaissance wedding or really any wedding. They would make great favors as well.
