Something Old...

This is a continuance from a previous post. You can read it here.

Since I wrote my Something Old, Something New post, I've been thinking about what my something old and something borrowed could be and I've finally decided on my something old.

My parents named me after my grandfather on my dad's side, George McLawhorn. Papa George passed away when I was ten. He was super special to me. I think it was because I'm the only granddaughter on that side of the family; I have a brother and two male cousins. When I graduated from high school, my Mama Janice gave me a gold nugget. She had taken Papa's wedding band and high school class ring and had them melted down into a nugget. The initial purpose was to buy a chain so that I could wear it. Well I never got around to purchasing a gold chain and honestly, I don't wear much yellow gold, okay I don't wear any yellow gold. I was looking through the jewelry box the other day and came across it and it hit me. The nugget would be PERFECT for my something old and I love what the nugget means to me. Part of it was my grandfather's wedding band. I don't even know how long my grandparents were married or when they got married, but I know it was a while ago, so it's definitely something old.
My intentions are to tie the nugget to my bouquet and I'm super excited. I also can't wait to see my grandmother's face when she finds out.

Now I'm on a search for something borrowed and I've got to find that sixpence!
