Ummm....I don't really remember! ha ha! That's so sad.
I had an aquamarine ring for something blue.

Borrowed...I don't remember borrowing anything. Even though I wasn't wearing it, our huppah was my MIL's tablecloth that she cross-stitched for her parents' anniversary. She took it back when they passed away, and uses it for family/holiday dinners.

I have a horrible memory!

New: My dress, shoes, everything
Borrowed: My cousin gave me the earrings she wore for her wedding a year earlier
New - dress, veil, jewelry, shoes etc.
