Is jumping the broom plus doing the sand ceremony redundant?

I seen where both are done. The broom jumping is after the unity sand ceremony. It's no rules. I don't think one would cancel out the other. Both of them have separate meanings, jumping the broom (history/tradition) & Unity Sand (future/Uniting) have fun with it. we are going to have the Unity Sand ceremony with our children included.

No it's not they have different meanings. I'm jumping the broom and doing candle lighting.

No. They are different and I love the broom jump as the "entry" into a new life. Go for it!

We're are doing candle lighting. I think both the candle lighting and unity sand are both great incorporation of bringing two families together as one.

We're doing both, sand ceremony and jumping the broom at the end.

I wouldn't think they were redundant.

Nope. Sand ceremony is a symbol of unity. Jumping the broom symbolizes leaving everything behind, a "clean" start if you will

Okay thanks Ladies! I was thinking this, but at the moment I couldn't figure out how to explain it to him, so I'm going to explain it to him just like how you all did lol. I'm pretty excited about both.

Thanks so much for those links Rev. Ann! I'm going to share those with him!

Thanks for posting this it helped me determine that I was going to do both as well, my husband wanted to jump the broom and I wanted the sand ceremony I never thought about doing both but this helped me
