  • After much waiting the video of our Ghanaian traditional wedding is finally here. We wanted everybody to understand the meaning behind our beautiful rich culture, so we decided to make a mini-documentary out of it.
    We hope everybody enjoys the video, just like how we did on our special day. We might be living in the Netherlands, but we're taking our culture with us, everywhere we go. May the Ghanaian traditional wedding, also be your dream wedding!
    This video is produced by TBBM weddings.

      They train you well lol. And we are full of joy. Things like disrespect, tantrums etc are generally not tolerated. Every elder person is your mum or dad or grandparent so you have to give or accord the same respect to them. It's in our culture to treat strangers with the hospitality and great respect and to see them as personal guests. So far as you are human regardless of your race, skin and colour we are to treat you with love, grace and respect. In general we basically see all humans as brothers and sisters unless there is a conflict. Probably that's why we seem to have so much joy lol. We see everyone and the world as one. This goes for majority of Africa or African tribes though.

      well in Congo when you go for the civil wedding they ask for proof of traditional wedding first. You cannot have a civil wedding without a traditional one first, if you're not married by the way of your people you are not married.

We have our traditional marriage and the white wedding too. We have so much tradition and customs and it is still very much in use today. We are proud that even those living overseas, have not forgotten their culture. A girl and her family feel valued and appreciated when the traditional customs are incorporated into the planned wedding.

      Nonsense connections to any Jews! Jews are no one special. Our own heritage is way more better snd quite enough. People should get over thinking and believing that Jews are the original people or any specially chosen by any African God. Utter nonsense!
