Not meant to be rushed
To cast away bad habits that may sour the new marriage seven broomsticks are burnt. Next, in a symbol of peace the bride washes the groom’s feet with water from an earthen jug called a Kendi. Following the washing the bride breaks the Kendi and enters her new home demonstrating her obedience to her new husband. She then eats a rice dish with her parents, which represents her final meal as their daughter. Lastly with the backdrop of music the groom enters the home, which the bride permits.
