    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

      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”
