Has anyone purchased their sixpence from silversixpence.com? I am considering buying from them, but wanted to check first.
Thanks

I didn't, sorry...but i did have to go look up sixpence because i'm a dummy and wasn't up my traditions. for anyone like me, it's the oft forgotten part of Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue...and a Sixpence in her shoe! It symbolizes wealth for the bride and groom.
so now yet another thing to add to my growing list of things to purchase!

I am doing this since I am 3rd generation Irish. My FI is going to try and see if can find an original at a coin show. If not we will probably be getting it off this site too.

Thanks! Fi and I both have divorced parents so we are just a little superstitious and I HAD to find a way to work a sixpence in somewhere.
