[favorsmr]

I have always planned to jump the broom at my wedding (even when I didn't have someone to marry).

now that my big day is fast approaching, i've decided to "jump the broom" and so i've asked my adult daughter to decorate a broom and haul it with her to Jamaica. (oh the things a kid will do for dear ole Mom)

 

is anyone else "jumping the broom' at their destination wedding?? and if so, what made you decide to do it, are you using a borrowed broom and/or a new one, how are you getting your broom to your destination?  oh and please post pics of your brooms too. 

 

i can't wait to hear from all of you!  THANKS for sharing!! :-) R~

OMG! Having the broom of your great-great grandmother makes the tradition so much more special.  I would defintely love to see that broom.

I have actually had the pleasure of having mines passed down to me. :-) My great-great grandmother was a former slave and although some of my family memebers have opted out of jumping the broom, I am definatley doing it. Not only to continue a tradtion but to honor my great- great grandmother as well. :-) I will upload pics when I get a chance.

Aww...I loved seeing this...it's been a minute since my wedding AND after wanting to jump the broom...my daughter forgot it at home so we didnt get to jump it but we plan to on our first anniversary so we can pass the broom down and around. Traditions have to start somewhere, right??? :D R~

This is soo beautiful!!!!  I plan to jump the broom and am really excited about it.  I found a spoken word type song on the internet that I plan to incorporate into the ceremony somehow.

I just completed mine the other day. I can't wait for us to jump the broom and pass this down. I got the broom from Michael's for $2.99.

@kks2012 - How many Inches is your Broom? Will it fit in your suitcase?
