Family Wedding

Field Friends

Even though Ray was worried about flying in an airplane, he knew the holiday wedding would be worth it! Ray packed the rest of his clothes into his suitcase and joined his family at the taxi. His sister, Daisy, yawned and rubbed her eyes. They had to leave very early for the plane!

Ray's immediate family met his grandma and grandpa at the airport. They would travel together. The rest of the extended family would meet them in sunny Cuba, including his favorite cousin, Leighton, who was a twin to Aida - not his favorite! Ray and Leighton planned to get together as much as possible without their siblings!

Family Wedding

So many relatives welcomed Ray and family to Cuba! While his parents relaxed by the pool, Ray's aunt and uncle watched him and Leighton splash in the waves. They built sand castles with their baby nephew Aiden, Ray's older brother and his wife's child.

Family Wedding

Ray met Laycie by the pool. She was two years older than Ray and Leighton, and a very fast swimmer. They had fun racing across the pool, and diving for sinky sticks. Laycie must be related to the bride, as they shared many similar traits.

Family Wedding

The marriage was beautiful, and Ray really liked Uncle Dave's new spouse, Renee. Uncle Dave's in-laws were kind and funny, too. Ray wondered whether he would be a husband some day, as he remembered his fun with Aunt Renee's niece, Laycie.

Jump the Broom

Before the Marriage Act of 1836, couples in England had to be married by an Anglican minister for their marriage to be legally accepted. If they were not married by the Church, they had no rights as a couple, for example, if the husband died, the wife did not inherit his money and things.

Field Friends

Jump the Broom

Many people across England and Wales were not Anglican. They may have been another faith, or none at all. Many people did not have money for a church wedding, or could not travel to the church. These people started their own marriage rules.

Field Friends

Jump the Broom

From as early as 1764, informal marriages occurred. Extended families celebrated these marriages in small ceremonies. They laid a broom on the ground, and after special words are said, both man and woman jump over the broom, becoming husband and wife.

Jump the Broom

Civil marriage, or weddings performed and agreed by law, rather than church, started in 1836. Some couples still choose broomstick marriages today! Some African American couples jump the broomstick as a celebration of their culture and with love for their ancestors.
