The traditional wedding ceremony, acclaimed to be a fusion of Nigerian and Ghanaian cultures held at the Underbridge, East Legon, in Ghana.
The wedding incorporated cultures from both Nigerian and Ghanaian, including the Ghanaian “knocking” ceremony, where the groom’s family formally requests the bride’s hand in marriage.
It was a celebration that knitted together the rich blend of Nigerian and Ghanaian traditions, as the ceremony was thronged with the vibrant shades of traditional Ghanaian attire and Southern Nigerian outfits.
