sought the legitimacy of marriage by jumping over the broom and into the bonds of domesticity. For our ancestors, this small ritual was a legal and bonding act connecting them with the heritage of the home land and giving legitimacy, dignity and strength to their unions. In their eyes, this union was now sanctioned by "the Almighty". It is said that broom jumping comes from an African Tribal Marriage Ritual of placing sticks on the ground representing the couple's new home together. It has also been said that the spray of the broom represents all of us scattered and the handle represents the Almighty who holds us together...... the ceremony can be performed at the wedding after the minister pronounces the couple man and wife or at the reception, just after the bridal party enters the reception area. Should you decide to incorporate this wonderful tradition in your wedding, remember to do it with the honor and dignity it represents.
