A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, and countries etc.

It was obvious that Indeed the CEO of Adinkra pie, Barima Osei Mensah and his wife, Anita Sefa Boakye planned to impress Ghanaians with their opulent display of wealth!
Would you believe if I tell you a million-dollar mansion was built from the foundation just for this wedding? The entire ceremony was crowned with a plush, invite only, pool party at the poolside of the mansion I’m talking about.
Anita dazzled many attires and even put on a piece of earring estimated to cost a whopping $6500 (39,747.50 Ghanaian Cedi). Who wears the 6 years salary of an average Ghanaian on her ears just for a wedding? Anita does and it was gorgeous.
