I'm just going to put what I had at my wedding, I'm not feeling well and don't want to go looking for things right now.
Old: my grandmother's crucifix ring from her christening in 1909
New: my son, I was 4 months pregnant
Borrowed: my mom's pearls
Blue: my garter, blue with a glass slipper charm

(as an aside, we had the rarely seen Catholic/Native American/Traditional Chinese wedding ceremony)

Seattle's Wall of Gum
A 50' by 15' section of wall outside of the Market Theater at Pike's Place Market. People have been sticking their gum there since 1993. Theater staff have scraped the wall twice, but since given up. It was recently declared the 2nd germiest tourist attraction in the world, second only to the Blarney Stone :) Occasionally you can see works of art made exclusively of gum, before others come along and cover it with their own chewed gum.

  Does it get hot there? You could never do that in subtropical Houston or Miami -- they stuff would turn to goo and run down the walls.

  @kellydna: it reminds me more of a David Lynch movie where the protagonist is just about to get out of the car and meet a strange woman who may or may not be his sister. And the strange woman says "Your hands are the bearers of ornery dresses. Go back, before your memories become jackals." And then the protagonist looks up and realises...
  actually, enough. Enough. This is part of what the photo evokes for me @jenaissance. But I really wouldn't read too much into that ;)
