There was this one ladies wedding where the soon to be mother in law wanted to honor her blackness by having jumping the broom at the wedding - fiancé/groom and his mom were very very white. Except the bride was, like, Nigerian and didn't have any connection to it as a tradition. And the mom just wouldn't get it. I think she ended up boycotting the wedding with her family or something at the end??? And kept insisting that they have jumping the broom at the ceremony
Except the bride was, like, Nigerian and didn't have any connection to it as a tradition.
until this part i was kinda just thinking "ok whatever just jump over the broom is it really worth fighting over" but nah i think this shifts it to full on "feel free not to attend the wedding then, lady"

If this the same story I read, the MIL made her own custom broom after the bride had explained how she has no cultural connection that tradition
