Your post is very...I don't think I would do it.<br />Your post is very timely because today I was reading a real diary of a MAN who was a teen in the early 19th century and he mentioned during his school days he was teased about a certain girl and others were teasing him and pressuring him to hop the broomstick! <br /><br />The only other time I've seen that tradition mentioned in America is in the antebellum South where slaves weren't legally allowed to marry. Slaves would often "jump the broom" for a wedding ceremony.QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-399456746029969522010-01-15T20:43:57.701-05:002010-01-15T20:43:57.701-05:00Hmm..

They know me really well, and I'd have to think if there were any truths to their objections. I mean, how would I feel if the marriage didn't work out, and I could have saved a lot of trouble by listening to my parents?<br /><br />However, if I was sure, then heck with it!

If I had a loving family and didn't want to risk damaging my other siblings' prospects, then I'd probably opt out and try to convince my family of my intended's good aspects.<br /><br />But if I had an uncaring family who only cared about wealth and position and really had no love lost between us, I'd do it in a heartbeat. :)Darahttp://inthewritemind.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
