Click for larger Picture
" In ancient cultures,
the broom was associated with the home and was used in ceremonies to sweep away any
negative influences which might collect in the dust. A couple who wished to be married
would jump together as husband & wife, over the broom. Will you, Tia & David,
honor the ways of your ancestors by jumping the broom?
We Will
"Gracious Goddess, abundant source of all, guide your children on the path of your Love. Hear the voices of the bride and the groom filled with joy and gladness in your honour. Blessed are they in their Love and Blessed are you who make them joyful together."
"By the powers of the Goddess & God, they sweep away all your past hurts. Let all the bad experiences which have in the past troubled you in Love or made it difficult to trust be swept away. Release the past and go forward into a bright future together."
"Now that the past is behind you, you may now jump into your new lives together with the blessings of the Ancient Ones."
