Jumping the Broom??
Opinions Please!
I would like your opinions on me and my FH jumping the broom at our ceremony. Would it be inappropriate for us to jump the broom since I am white?
We'd like to incorporate parts from his heritage and this is an important part of the black culture. I would include in the program the following statement or something similar so people understand the importance of it. Thanks for your help!


"It is believed that during the era of slavery in America, newlywed couples would use the ritual of broom jumping as a way to give some sort of legitimacy to their unions, since they were unable to wed under legal circumstances. The broom symbolizes the setting up of a new household as well as the sweeping away of negative thoughts, actions and spirits which can break the bonds of a happy marriage.
In the motherland, the "village" represents not only the actual inhabitants, but the sense of family and community. And as members of this couple's "village", we need to support and encourage their union. Love them enough to give them the benefit of your wisdom - but at the same time, know when to walk away and let them tend the fires of their marriage.
There is a saying "Make a joyful noise - so that the rocks don't cry out!". As we all celebrate this wonderful occasion, let's all get up on our feet and shout our joy to the heavens..so the world will know that this couple have become one...with each other. As Frank & Ashley "leap into da' land of matrimony", we wish the very best of love, health & happiness!!"

Wedding Flowers
I want a Red Rose bouquet. And for our daughter who will be our flower girl I like the demask basket but she'll have red roses in her basket.

Our First Dance
Every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself cuz I don't believe it's true
That someone like you loves me too

Maggie Sottero
My dream dress is "McCall" by Maggie Sottero and a very close second is her dress "Brielle". I have yet to try on either of them so hopefully I will still be in love once they are on.

My LoVe!
The man I'm blessed to marry!
The love of my life, my future husband. He is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is my best-friend and has given me something in life no other person could give me, my beautiful daughter! He is hardworking, caring, strong, sensitive, successful and most of all he is the greatest daddy in the entire world. I LOVE watching him with our daughter, and I LOVE even more the way she looks at him! I can't wait to be his wife!
