You probably know the expression "jumping the broom," but do you know what it's all about? . With debated roots in both African and Romani traditions, #jumpingthebroom is a beautiful and rich tradition in which the couple literally jumps over a broom (or #besom) at the end of a wedding ceremony to symbolize sweeping away the old and welcoming the new. ✨ . While its popularity has been maintained throughout centuries in Europe, mostly by #pagan communities (and because it's older than written documentation of wedding customs, it may or may not have appeared in Europe a little before OR after it appeared in Africa 🤷), it was popularized in America by African slaves who could not legally marry. It fell out of fashion for a while but had a huge resurgence in #blackweddings in the 1970s after the tradition was portrayed in the miniseries #Roots, and has been growing in popularity ever since. Here's hoping #ancestral traditions continue to thrive in the future. 🥂 . #adifferentofficiant #marryoutsidethebox #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #weddingplanning #weddingtraditions #history #weddingofficiant #weddingminister #southcarolinawedding #southcarolina #upstatesc #upstatesouthcarolina #onespartanburg #spartanburg #yeahthatgreenville #greenvillesc #greenville360 #hereingreer #simpsonvillesc (at A Different Officiant: Rebecca Inman, South Carolina Wedding Minister) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WiyyxJdsV/?igshid=gheyc0gnvd5m

Celebrating jumping the broom! One of the oldest known wedding rituals. Popular in modern weddings to symbolise sweeping away the old in preparation for the new. It is said that the wedding broom has it's roots in Africa as far back as the 1600s, the tradition continued to be used by slaves brought over to America as a form of unofficial marriage. Welsh pagans also have a very strong history of jumping the broom in wedding ceremonies as well as placing a broom in the doorway to the celtic marital home and may be the origin of "crossing the threshold " to complete the marriage. Beautifully decorated and personalised wedding brooms are available from many online stores.
