May God bless their union. <br /><br />As far as the 'jumping the broom', I do believe that it probably, and I say probably because I have no proof, began as a means of making sure the wife wasn't a witch. As we all probably know, witches can't cross a broom. So a witch would not be able to hop the broom either. However, I do like the notion of jumping the broom as a way of cleansing the past and making ready for the new life as a married couple. <br /><br />Also, I just wanted to mention I've seen two types of this rite being done. The first type is when the broom is placed on the ground and the couple hold hands and jump over it. The second type is when the couple stands close and another person holds the broom and moves it close to their feet and the couple then jump over it. So I don't know which one is the more traditional but I guess they both are good. Thanks for posting this. :)Doc Conjurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569054730270980353noreply@blogger.com
