Half a sixpence

This is a King George VI sixpence 1937. It is a tradition for the father of the bride to put a silver sixpence in to the brides shoe to bring luck and prosperity in marriage. This is the sixpence that I wore in my wedding shoe.
This is for the song title & minimal challenge.

That must have been uncomfortable! I’ve never heard of this tradition. Great shot

@denful https://theweddingguide.co.uk/silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe/ I had a mum who believed in tradition and a dad who was superstitious. Surprisingly because a sixpence is small and slim I don’t remember it being uncomfortable.

@lorieb thank you for following and commenting.

[Susan Wakely]

@grammyn thank you. Precious memories.

[Susan Wakely]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond thank you. Who would have thought that I can do romance.

[Esther Rosenberg]

That is so awesome, Sweet and good memories. You had space in your shoe for a coin? I would be limping.

[Mags]

Well done!

[moni kozi]

So, it's basically three pence... :D
Neat entry to the minimal challenge.

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely low key shot! I have heard of that, but not something I did - I had quite a superstitious mother & as much as I have debunked a lot of them, there are still a few that feel unable to avoid!

Nicely lit.

Great photo and so interesting! I had no idea about that tradition!

Lovely for your song title. I had a silver sixpence in my shoe and my daughter also had the same one in hers 25 years later.
Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue
And a Silver Sixpence in your shoe.

I've never heard of this tradition at all but I quite like it. The only thing my mum did with a sixpence was to put it in the Christmas pudding and whoever found it made a wish. Lovely photo and thanks for entering the song title challenge - nice to hear Tommy Steele too!

Love the story behind the sixpence, very atmospheric shot. Fav
