I'm thinking I'll wear my badge as my "something new".

I'd also like to wear a set of pearls because I like them, and also because the pearl is Tri Sigma's jewel.

Several chapter sisters of mine will most likely be in attendance so I would like them to sing our official song at my reception too. I saw it done at a sister's wedding I attended. We all circled around the bride & sang to her!

Not that I am getting married anytime soon, but when I do I planned to wear my late grandmother's pearls as both my "something old" and my little nod to sigma. I will prolly buy some plain pearl studs as my "something new" too.

A few years ago I was at a sisters wedding... she did purple accents with blue and cream colors. (As much as I love sigma, sometimes a little purple goes a long way!) The centerpeices were gold candle holders, covered with cream flowers and with purple candles in them. Her dress was cream and she carried cream flowers wrapped in purple ribbons. Her badge was on her garter under her dress.

When my brother got married his wife didn't really want any of his Lambda Chi stuff there, but his best man was a brother too so they had small green ribbons under their buttoneers (I know bad spelling!) and I think the other brothers wore the same small green ribbons under their badges. I wish I could remember more, but sometimes that day was a blur!

I got married about 1 1/2 years ago and had 2 sisters in my wedding party (only had 4 friends on my side of the wedding party total--it was a small destination wedding.) I incorporated our giving flower, a white rose, into my bouquet and had all of my bridesmaids' bouquets made completely out of white roses. My official sorority flower is the magnolia, but it's hard to go into the florist and say, "I need to order 1 dozen magnolia blooms for rush next week." So instead we substitute the white rose when we present flowers to members for official occasions, such as delivering bids, congratulating new members, etc.

My sorority's mascot is the dolphin and I thought briefly about ordering wedding invitations with dolphins on them (got married by the beach), but my husband thought it was a little over the top. But if it wasn't for a sorority sister introducing us, there wouldn't have even been a wedding.....

I didn't use Pi Phi symbols at my wedding (clash between Pi Phi colors and the Christmas theme), but my AOII daughter carried a bouquet of red roses with red hypericum berries at her wedding. Some girls she was a camp counselor with for years formed a circle around her and sang "Rose", an old Girl Scout song, and I guess some people thought it was some of the AOIIs there singing a sorority song!

Oh, but some of my Pi Phi sisters did come into the bathroom after our reception and sang "The Legacy Song" while I was dressing to leave. LOL! I think they were too embarrassed to sing in front of the guests.
