Most weddings if not all are not about the bride and groom its basically throw a party so relative(distant) can come over and chop chop(eat food).<br /><br />We spending soo much on something that can be sorted out with 20mins and as little as Ghc1000.<br /><br />I think i'ld have a wedding during the week day so its very difficult for people to skip work. that way i can control the number of people i want around.B.O.N.T.Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057579608615146112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-29111108098408505032010-08-16T23:16:13.751+01:002010-08-16T23:16:13.751+01:00I must point out that the day was actually amazing...I must point out that the day was actually amazing in the end, but the STRESS to get there is unlike anything I have ever encountered.<br /><br />And I was disgusted at the number of free-loaders who came to see the abrokyirefuo (tr: people from abroad) reception and gauge themselves on the food. No shame.

What usually happens at the end though is that the wedding does happen, in spite of all the hitches. SO you all hang in there...Mynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595087387069634003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-16514782251983291112010-08-16T13:26:35.689+01:002010-08-16T13:26:35.689+01:00My goodness, I hope it all went well in the end!

Now I'm sure you'll understand why I, (despite me, hubby, my mum and his parents being based in Accra), ran off to Sweden to have our lowkey wedding with about 60 guests. <br /><br />From weddings I have attended my impression is it is more about fulfilling your duty to your relatives than actually having a lovely day and a wonderful memory for life.Maya Mamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285625732016505054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-58546682724522320642010-08-16T10:13:09.581+01:002010-08-16T10:13:09.581+01:00From what I have seen after years of African weddi...From what I have seen after years of African weddings it seems that its compulsory for too much money to be spent (read wasted) and for everyone to spend a lot of the occasion NOT enjoying themselves. Most of the weddings have been part of the how NOT to get married show! I will also have a small wedding- small but lavish :-) and if you don't rsvp u won't even know the address to gatecrash, so there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966828029284505556.post-38424265601976871992010-08-16T06:11:40.522+01:002010-08-16T06:11:40.522+01:00A great post.

It's hard to find someone in Ghana who is willing to leave the whole, call it charade, for a wedding that will leave the couples rich after marriage, not indebted. But I have some friends willing to defy friends and family for reasonNanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01413871396464391462noreply@blogger.com
