Nigerian Gospel singer, Moses Bliss and his Ghanaian fiancé, Marie Wiseborn on Thursday had their much anticipated traditional marriage with the hashtags #Foreverbliss #MMBliss24 #Foreverbliss24.
The traditional wedding ceremony, acclaimed to be a fusion of Nigerian and Ghanaian cultures held at the Underbridge, East Legon, in Ghana.
The wedding incorporated cultures from both Nigeria and Ghana, 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.
