Are there any brides out there who are jumping the broom? If so where did you get your broom from? I wanted to decorate mine myself but i can't find anyone who sells brooms.

You can google wedding brooms, and you will get various sites, with nice ones. Some also give you the history and sayings, as well.

What is jumping the broom?



THe short version: its an african american tradition. Its when bride and groom jumps over a broom at the end of the cer or beginning of reception. It was done back in slavery as a way to legitimize a marriage (since slaves were not allowed to get married). It also means sweeping out the old and brining in the new.
