Nailah and I had a great time and met a lot of nice people who made us feel welcome.

The community has this tradition to celebrate the strong union between both the bride and groom's family as well as to show community support. The ceremony also honors the ancestors who have come before them.
Ghanaian wedding ceremonies are generally performed outside with many flowers and local animals. They add them to the natural environment to create powerful energy that will continue to bless their marriage.
