Beautiful. I like the flowers you picked!

Maybe I am a bit naive here, but can I ask why you ned a broom for a wedding? It is a tradition I have never heard of?

of course you can ask
meaning behind this tradition
Jumping the broom or in some cases jumping over an imaginary line is an African ritual, or tradition still being practiced in some parts of West Africa. Jumping the broom is NOT associated with slavery. Enslaved Africans, as an affirmation of their cultural heritage practiced it during slavery in North America. This 'leap' into a new life (marriage life) as husband and wife is performed in the presence of families and friends. The broom has both symbolic and spiritual importance in the African culture. You can be as creative as you want when planning for that special day.
Jumping the broom was always done before witnesses in order for members of the slave community to know a couple was married. No form of marriage was recognized for Blacks during slavery, therefore jumping the broom solidified this ceremony within the slave community

You did a great job!
