Arneidra brought the house down with her surprise song "I'm Ready for Love." She performed from the balcony right before her bridal entrance! Not only was it a professional quality rendition, it was heartfelt and left not a dry eye. Imagine the love and courage it takes to sing at your own wedding!! The ceremony ended with the jumping of the broom.
At a time when slaves were considered property and not permitted to get married, "Jumping the Broom" was a way for African-American couples to make a statement to their community about their relationship. The broom represented their new life together. The couple would hold hands and jump over the broom, symbolically jumping into their new life!
Great! When you are planning your wedding reception try to pick some songs that, when you hear it, you can't help but smile because it's just so darn perfect and all-time favorites.
