The traditional wedding ceremony, acclaimed to be a fusion of Nigerian and Ghanaian cultures held at the Underbridge, East Legon, in Ghana on Thursday .
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 Nigeria outfits.
The couple’s attire and that of their families was a harmonious blend of Ghana’s colorful ‘kente cloth’ and Nigeria’s regal ‘aso-oke’ fabric and George material.
Marie, a lawyer, looked elegant as she changed into three different attires for her wedding.
She also wore her signature natural hairstyle packed neatly at the top of her head while also using little to no makeup.
Moses wore a traditional attire including a hat, George wrapper and a long white shirt with a long neck scarf unique to men from the South-South.
Highpoint of the ceremony was the grand entrance of the bride in the popular ‘Adowa Dance’ with her bridesmaids, alongside other traditional dancers.
