In this history of a unique tradition, Tyler Parry untangles the history of the "broomstick wedding". Popularly associated with African American culture, Parry traces the ritual's origins to marginalized groups in the British Isles and explores how it influenced the marriage traditions of different communities on both sides of the Atlantic.
