Note: Brides are counseled to have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue on their person for the wedding day, “The old item provided protection for the baby to come. The item borrowed from another happy bride provided good luck. The colour blue was a sign of fidelity. The sixpence—a silver British coin—was a symbol of prosperity or acted as a ward against evil done by frustrated suitors.” (From Wikipedia 7-17-20)

Part I

Hunt for Something Old (and Small)
Find something old and small. 
Consider your choice carefully. 
It should be small enough to hold easily in one hand. 
Carry it on you for one week. 
Do not show anyone what it is. 
Name it. 
At the end of one week, give it away.

Part II

Hunt for Something New
Ask someone for something you need but don't want anyone to know that you need it. 
It must be something real, not a joke, something your life depends upon getting; something that would make your life new. 
If they say, "no," ask someone else. 
Never ask the same person twice. 
Continue to ask until you get what you need. 
Ask at least once a day until you get a positive response. 
If, at the end of a week, you have failed to solicit what you need, stop asking.

Part III

Hunt for Something Borrowed
Identify something you need that someone else owns. 
Ask to borrow it for a specified amount of time. 
It can be anything: fame, fortune, a partner, happiness, health, a car, a dog or a book so long as you really believe you need it and temporary ownership might enhance your life. 
Specify how you will negotiate borrowing the item. 
At the end of the agreed upon time, return the item.

Part IV

Hunt for Something Blue
Look for a fallen twig from a deciduous tree. 
Choose a twig that is at least 6” long.
Do not substitute a twig you have broken off.
Bring the twig home.
Acquire non-toxic ultramarine blue paint.
Paint the twig blue with the paint.
Find a place in your home where you can consider the blue twig.
