The Tradition of Jumping the Broom The wedding broom jumping ceremony dates back from the slave days of Africa in the 1600's.
To honor their African heritage, today's couples incorporate the tradition of broom jumping into either their wedding ceremony or wedding reception. The jumping of the broom signifies their entrance into a new family by "sweeping away" their single life, former problems and concerns. By jumping over the broom they show binding of the couple in marriage, symbolize fertility, and prosperity as they enter upon the adventure of being husband and wife.
