The way Mandy had hr whole pitch/ad memorised >>>>

Tradition is tradition and these things are tokens and is a way of finding out if he can provide basic needs for his new family . No matter how morden we get lets preserve our culture

Beautiful!! Congratulations to you and your husband, 👑Nana!! 🥳

Jeff's cheerfulness throughout this ceremony is so dope 😁😁

Yessss Mandy with the advertising!!

Eeeiiish this your Ushering agency lady didn't come to play. "Relax and let's take charge" 🥰😅

I'm enjoying this wedding series...keep them coming .

Nice educate video Nana. And considerations on your nuptials. I wish you and your husband a happy fruitful union However, please don't call your culture "antiquated" just because you do mot understand certain aspects of it. For instance, the reason your family required the actual marriage instead of " knocking" first was to ensure that the required rites were performed before you begin to act as if you are married.. Often, when the knocking is permitted, the couple inappropriately begins to cohabitate and act as a fully married couple and fail to follow up with the actual traditional rites, sometimes for years, or never. To prevent such issues and delay, many families no longer want the knocking. Also, as you well stated, Traditional Marriage is a full legal marriage unlike what many believe or call an "Engagement ". I hope this helps shed some light.

It's just prove that the man can take care of the woman

Congratulation on your wedding. You look very happy.

Congratulations! 🎉🎈🎊 This is beautiful

Congratulations!!!!Such a small world....this particular video came right after i found your room tour video.Only to realise you marry my Shs school mate😊🙌.Jeff is such a cool and funny guy.May God bless this union nana🥂🙌🙌

I really enjoyed watching this video Nana. It was good to learn about your ethnicity and your marriage customs.The BRIDEPRICE is about the same for us too, but the alcohol goes to the uncles & aunties and the cash goes to me. Apparently it is a way for the groom to show that he is financially able to provide for you. Ps: I put a twist on my dowry and negotiate the list on behalf of my husband and I to get some of the alcohol 😂. Anyway, Beautiful dress 🥰🤩 Love the blue and Jeff was beaming🥹🥹. Very happy for you both again. Wishing you marital bliss 💞💞

Was Waiting for this

Loved the explanation. My fiancé is from Togo. Got to experience a traditional wedding this past January when we visited and our friend had one. It was a long ceremony which i wasn't expecting. Very interesting and a unique ceremony to experience.

Congratulations 👏....God bless ur Union..xx

Congratulations 🎊 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎶🎶🎶. It is soooooooo refreshing to see Ghanaian 🇬🇭 & African culture celebrated 🍾 🙌🏿 ❤️ with all the traditions, languages and pride. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Nana Ashanti. Excellent. I pronounce joy, success, understanding, love, enduring compassion and positive energy along with all things noble 💖 for you and your husband in your marriage. Again, Congratulations 🎊

It is bride price not dowry. The two are different. Dowries are mostly made by brides as form of guarantee. Bride price are gifts or tokens made by the groom to the bride and her family.

Congratulations to you both 🎉🎈🎊thank you for sharing this

Wedding series. We'll take that. Wedding series 😆

Yes, it should be a token, people have taken it to the next level with this dowry amount.

Not Sugar in the background announcing her presence

Congratulations 🎉

Nana, this is so beautiful. & yes a lot of tokenistic stuff but & it's v v necessary, it's an honour to your parents. Look, your whole immediate & extended family are elevated because they've helped raise a v successful, intelligent, well rounded girl. Why should they not ask for a bride price & the added on tos.? Akan marriages, compared to other tribes within Ghana & outside Africa aren't expensive at all. You can also negotiate behind the scenes, if the groom's family think the demand is too high. Seriously, when will these extended family members even see you again? It's time for them to let their hair down too!😜 & they come in handy during other special events in future, such outdooring & funeral ceremonies. You need your extened families to support you. Funniest thing in my case, is how my uncle representing my late Dad asked for the "wardrobe", just when we were about to start the ceremony! lt was never on the list! I nearly throttled him!!😝😝😝. It's great to mix tradition and modernity sometimes; that's our identity, our pride! Awa-re sɔ ooo, don don ooo💃💃💃🤣🤣. Onyame nhyira mo na ɔnyɛ mo kese 🤞🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

Girl theres instances where suitcases, lingeries, scarves etc. but remember that technically you still live with your parents 😉so you do not have your own pots pans utensils etc. Nana, to think of it, its the Ghn form of a bridal shower and marriage rolled into one

If I marry a Ghanaian man, who would represent me at the traditional wedding. My mother is too old to travel and my father is deceased.

This is so interesting! I can't wait to have mine, it would be a mix of ewe and Ashanti traditions which I understand is the worst mix 😂

My fiancé definitely being away for 8 years to the states had forgotten a lot of the steps and was lowkey confused on what was going on. 🤣🤣

Which town in Sefwi, i'm from Nyinahin, then you're my daughter and neighbour, stay safe and blessed.

Perhaps the term bride price needs to be changed cuz you are not buying the bride. If thats was the case you couldn't return the drinks and the rings in the event of divorce.

I just subscribed

This whole parade looks stressful to me. Oh my goodness 😆😆

Can be very expensive for the groom, what happens if he can't afford the things on the list?

My fiancé lucked out that i am American and my family do i declined but he did offer when we went to my parents to ask for my hand in marriage. All of his friends married someone from togo so they had too and they all told him he was lucky. 🤣🤣🤣

Which lakeside venue did you hold your event?

Same question i asked during my mum’s burial preparations. Me:Why are we doing this? Answer: That’s how it’s done. It’s our culture Me: Then i’m not doing it🙄 Them: You will cut a goat’s head if you don’t Me: 🤦🏽‍♀️

Taking your ring off... isn't that consider "Bad Luck" before you are married ?

Girl....So....basically, what you're saying is that you're richer now? Whoopwhopp! 🤭 👀

shout out to your dad for giving you all the money! 😂
