28-year-old almost lets cousin borrow heirloom necklace as "something old" for her wedding, backtracks when bride-to-be lets slip that she actually wants to keep it permanently: "It should have been mine all along"

We've all heard the centuries-old rhyme meant to bring in good luck for the bride on her wedding day: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe." The "something old," often a family heirloom in the form of jewelry, represents the bride and groom's history and heritage. "Something new" represents the new life they will start together. "Something borrowed" is typically from a happily married friend or relative so that the good vibes of their relationship can transfer to the newlyweds. Before white was the bridal color of choice, blue was a popular symbol for love – hence the "something blue." Finally, a sixpence in the shoe was meant to bring in prosperity and wealth.

In our story today, a bride uses the superstitious tradition as a front to get her cousin's heirloom necklace. The necklace actually belonged to her own late mother, but she gave it to her cousin instead. Her ruse is up when she lets slip that she means to keep the jewelry after her wedding.
