May 4, 2011 · The groom’s mother is a postal worker in Brooklyn. The bride’s family lives in a seaside compound on Martha’s Vineyard so spacious, no neighbors are visible. The bride and groom are in love, but their families are not. That was good enough for “ Romeo and Juliet,” and it still sorta works with “Jumping the Broom.”.
