There are many traditions in the world about wedding ceremonies. Depending where you are, customs changes and things that are very important for ones, are crazy or stupid for others. I am going to talk about " Jumping the broom". It´s an afroamerican old tradition where the bride and the groom jump together above a broom, in the floor of church, during the ceremony. To "sweep" their single life and start a new life together. The meaning of this ritual, is to wish good luck to the couple to make a happy home. Even though it´s important in their cultures, for people who are unfamiliar with this type of events, they may seem a bit stupid. In my country, people sometimes do strange things during the wedding. For me, the most rare is when the guests cut the groom´s tie in small pieces, to make an auction to earn money for the honeymoon. It´s crazy and funny!!!!
I've heard of jumping the broom, but not of cutting the groom's tie. Sounds like a good way to raise money to me!
