There’s one last idea about the lucky sixpence and a possible tradition a bride and groom could begin within their own family. Like the traditional Luckenbooth brooch, after being used by the bride on her wedding day, the sixpence can be kept for the christening of her daughters and passed to the eldest daughter on her wedding day. While the groom’s sixpence can be kept for the christening of sons and passed to the eldest son on his wedding day.
Adding to the sentimental value of the sixpence, the blue box with ribbon, and wax seal provides safe storage.
This can be an inexpensive, yet cherished tradition that’s a small piece of Scotland’s heritage to remind each member of a family where there roots lie. As the children are taught about the sixpence, they can gain an understanding and appreciation for Scotland and their own past.
