i believe that it shouldn't matter what afican customs you incorporate into your ceremony, as long as you are aware of the meaning behind it. my husband and i jumped the broom. i felt that it was a nice touch to our wedding. aside from honoring our african ancestors, for us it was a tribute to the immediate family that was with us in spirit. it was also important to me because my mother wanted me to have an afrocentric wedding. i wanted a more traditional one so this was the compromise. i am proud that we jumped the broom and it will adorn our wall for all to look at.
