Sunset-Bride-Photography > The jumping of the broom is a popular African-American tradition at wedding ceremonies. After the couple has exchanged their wedding vows in the presence of witnesses they will jump over the handle of a broom. This ritual represents the joining of two families in unity as they jump over the threshold into their new life. Within the rich ceremonial African culture, marriage rituals were important events. The act of jumping the broom became a legal bonding act that provided the marriage with legitimacy and dignity within the community. This custom reflects a deep respect for ancestral heritage.

Sunset-Bride-Photography > "Arriving Fashionably Late?" Unacceptable Custom Over the years this rude expression seems to have been included into our daily lives as an acceptable practice for social events. To arrive late to a party, may be merely annoying to the hostess, but to arrive late for your own wedding ceremony or as the guest at a wedding ceremony, is completely improper. To delay the start of the ceremony due to lateness from the bride/groom or any member of the wedding party, shows a complete lack of manners and taste. Lateness demonstrates a lack of respect for the Liturgy itself, and also for your priest or deacon and other members of the ministry that are contributing their time. As a guest, your late arrival and seating will become a distraction from the ceremony. If you have arrived late, sit at the back with as little disturbance as possible. Always plan to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier than the set time for ceremony.
Sunset-Bride-Photography > Rice Throwing - We now see ecologically minded couples offering bottles of bubbles in lieu of confetti or rice to their guests. The newest form of this ever evolving custom has become the releasing of butterflies or doves. All these newer practices originate from the throwing of rice. Rice was a symbol of fertility and long life. Guest threw it over the bride and groom as a wish for children and long life. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the wishing of happiness to the couple. The evolution of customs is always an interesting process.
