Do you know about the "Coin of Happiness"? ♡

In some countries, there is a tradition that says wearing a sixpence coin at your wedding brings happiness. This has been referred to as the "Coin of Happiness" and has been a part of wedding ceremonies for a long time. ♡

The Last of Something Four ♡

The origin of "Something Four" comes from a Mother Goose rhyme that is popular in England. The rhyme goes: "Something old; Something new; Something borrowed; Something blue;" and continues with the line "And a Sixpence in her shoe." This is how the tradition of the happiness coin was born. ♡

Among brides overseas, it is common and cute to include the four items from Something Four along with the sixpence coin as a charm. *

Sneaking a Happy Sixpence Coin into Shoes ♡

The sixpence is a British currency that is no longer minted. By sneaking this sixpence coin into the bride's left shoe, all the blessings associated with Something Four are fulfilled. ♡

Alternatively, it can also be placed in the groom's breast pocket instead of the bride's shoe. Since sixpence coins are no longer in circulation, it’s a good idea to buy one online or borrow from someone who has one. ♡

Paying Attention to the Coin's Design ♡

When choosing the sixpence coin, selecting one based on your birth year, anniversary, or wedding date is lovely. Each coin has a theme based on the reigning monarch, so you might want to pick your favorite from those options. ♡

The top recommendation is the sixpence featuring Queen Victoria! Queen Victoria and her husband Albert were known as a "happy couple," making it perfect for a joyful marriage. ♡
