something something something

while i was looking for the ultimate comments to be sent back home for icong's wedding, i bumped into a card that says "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue". then i recall an episode from "Friends" when Monica wanted to get married in Vegas, she was also looking for all those things associated with that something something.

Now, as much as i think my knowledge on western culture is intermediate, i am clueless on this one. I dont know why all those things are needed in a wedding?

Care to enlight me?

At 1.39 AM. i got the answer. dont you just love the internet?
