Wedding Ceremony Elements | Jumping the Broom Ceremony.
Jumping the broom is a time-honoured wedding tradition in which the bride and groom jump over a broom during the ceremony. The act symbolises a new beginning and a sweeping away of the past and can also signify the joining of two families or offer a respectful nod to family ancestors. For all these reasons, umping the broom is an increasingly popular part of many modern wedding ceremonies.

What is a Handfasting?
A handfasting is an old Pagan custom, dating back to the time of the ancient Celts. A handfasting was originally more like an engagement period or betrothal, where two people would declare a binding union between themselves for a year and a day. The original handfasting was a trial marriage.
