Whose Bible Should I Carry


Question Posted Thursday August 11 2005, 9:08 am

This is going to be the strangest question ever. My grandmother and my mother both carried a Bible as part of their bouquet for their weddings. I want to do the same. There are 4 possible Bibles that would fit the bill.
#1-Grandmother's Bible-She isn't around, and she wouldn't let my mom carry it. It's a faded ivory.

#2-Mom's Bible-She carried it, but she is now divorced. So maybe superstitiously, I don't really want to carry it. I will already be wearing her veil. It is white.

#3-The Bible I was given when I was Baptized. It's blue, and a little stained due to a fire. I don't think anyone will see the stained.

#4-The Bible I was given at or near birth with my name written on it. It is a very light pink.

All of these Bibles mean something to me. They aren't huge, so weight shouldn't be an issue. One day I want the blue one, and one day I want grandmother's Bible. What's your opinion?

I would use the last one because it's your very first one. And pink is great for a wedding.

#4 because you've had it all your life, and if you have a daughter, you can add her name to the cover and pass it on to her to carry on her wedding day. Then she can pass it on to her daughter and so on.

I think you should go with number 3 and that way it could be your something blue. Baptism is extremely special because you are then a part of God's family and I would want my new family a part of God's if that makes any sense.

Congratulations!

Personally i would go with the light pink one (#4) because it has your name on it and youve had it all of your life. If you arent really wanting to carry that one, then i would do the blue one. Between those two. Good luck.

I would go with number 3. Baptism is a ceremony that brings you closer to God, and that was the bible that was given to you when you were being brought closer to God. It seems just perfect for you to carry.

I think the blue Bible would probably be best. The fact that the Bible survived the fire would be, in my eyes, a symbol that your marriage can survive anything.

funkymunky817 answered Thursday August 11 2005, 10:23 am:
i would go with the one you were baptized with... i mean its a specail time when you get married and when your baptized. the two events kinda go together.
if you dont decide to go with that one then go with the fourth one becuase the one your mother carried could/will be a bad sign...and if your grandmother didnt let your mothr carry hers down the aisle then you probably shouldnt either.

~hope i helped

If it were me, I would carry the Bible I was given when I was Baptized.

Even if you hadn't said it, it seems from the question that they all mean a lot to you. So, whatever you decide, it might be nice to have the others nearby... maybe setting somewhere close to where you will say your vows.

Good luck and congratulations!

I would go with choice #3, the one given to you when you were baptized.

If your grandma didn't want you mom to have hers, then she might not want you to either.
If your mom carried it and is now divorced, even though I only somewhat believe in superstitions, I still wouldn't take that risk.
You were baptized, it's blue, it all works out (you know, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue)
This would be a good choice too, but only if you're worried about the small stain on the other bible.

I hope I helped, and actually this is a really good question. I've been on this site for over a year and this is a type of question we don't get often.

The one you received when you were baptized... besides, it's blue and a bride always needs something blue to carry down the isle with her.

xomegaroni answered Thursday August 11 2005, 9:12 am:
hmm ok

1-your mom couldn't carry it, so maybe you shouldnt either

2-since your moms divorced, it COULD be a bad sign, but maybe she'll feel better if you used hers

3-i think this 1 would be the best, since it was the bible given when you were baptized

4-this one would probably be the 2nd choice

good luck!
