Jumping The Broom:

Alexandria and Darius have chosen to conclude their ceremony with the tradition of jumping the broom Today we honor and celebrate the transition from two separate lives into one life united by love. We place a broom for jumping, which symbolizes the entrance of the couple into a new life together.

By the authority vested in me by American Marriage Ministries and the State of Georgia I now pronounce you husband and wife!

You may miss your bride.
