and a sixpence in her shoe

It is often recited as the four "somethings", and not including the sixpence.

.......a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security. A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. Many sources say this tradition began in the Victorian era.

It may also date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe.

A silver sixpence symbolizes wealth and prosperity and is to be put into the shoe of the bride by her father right before the wedding ceremony.

These are genuine British Silver sixpences.

Attached is a hand made tag, by a silver organza ribbon. The tag has been printed with a hand made lino lace design using silver ink - beautiful! On the reverse of the tag, reads 'happily ever after' and there is room for your own message!

You will receive one silver sixpence which I've cleaned and polished. You will also receive a note with the history of the sixpence and it's significance as a symbol of luck at a wedding. Also available for the groom!
