Finally, the decorative objects can symbolize a shared set of values and beliefs – such as loyalty, stability, and respect.

The broom can even be used to include guests in the ceremony: A couple can have guests write their names on pieces of decorative paper attached to ribbons, and then the ribbons are tied to the broom before it is jumped.
