What are some cultural touches I can add to my ceremony and/or reception?
In the African American tradition, you can Jump The Broom at either the ceremony or reception to symbolize the starting of a new life and home together. In the African tradition, you can feed your elders a small piece of bread or a kola nut to honor your connection to them. In both the Latino and African tradition, you can do a dollar dance at the reception that allows your guests to further help you establish your new life and home together. In the Caribbean tradition, you can provide your guests with a slice of black cake at the reception.
