Aha! A historical context.
I was wondering about this “jumping the broom” thing too. So are we talking more of colonial adaptations to fit the circumstance, rather than a general Scottish procedure?
Not an area of study for me, but passing mentions in what I was reading at times made reference to these practices. I have the impression that these both have roots in both Celtic
and African traditions. Exactly what those roots were and the form they had elsewhere, I am not well informed of enough to be quoted.

You may be right on these matters, but I have no idea about these things other than passing comments made by others on this website, which I cannot relate to one bit.

we did one for our 40th wedding Anniversary. We did some research and it was really special. (although we'd probably have had a great time with a regular party) Most of us wore kilts, my son officiated, entered to "Highland Cathedral", had archery and ax throwing (granted little kids ax throwing and archery playset) and stone put.
