Known as the Happy Mass Wedding, it marked the 18th edition. The event introduced in 2006 by the radio station has seen hundreds of couples realise lifetime dreams of walking down the aisle with their partners.
Wednesday’s event, held at the prestigious L’amour Events Centre to commemorate the Valentine’s Day celebration showcased couples adorned in exquisite gowns; looking elegant as they exchanged their vows.
Hosted by Rev. Nyansa Boakwa and Akua Sika, the ceremony was graced by notable guests including Ernest Boateng-Group CEO of Global Media Alliance, CEO of Ghana Free Zones Authority, Ambassador Michael Ocquaye Jnr.; Director of Broadcasting Global Media Alliance, Timothy Karikari; Chief Superintendent Asare Bediako-Fmr. Adabraka Commander, Programmes Manager of Happy FM, Kwabena Ampong, Chief Inspector Frank Bora from Kwabenya District Command and PW Constable Alberta Kportuse, Kwabenya District Command.
During the celebration, Mr. Boateng emphasised the cultural significance of marriage in the Ghanaian society, highlighting the values upheld by Global Media Alliance, the parent company of Happy 98.9 FM.
“Through the Happy FM Valentine Mass Wedding, we have not only joined couples in Holy Matrimony, but we have also provided them with the education required to sustain their marriages through effective premarital counselling sessions and also build a strong financial foundation, he said.”
Mr Michael Ocquaye Jnr. encouraged couples to embrace the challenges and adventures of marriage, emphasising love, commitment and mutual respect as the essentials to a happy marriage.
“Marriage is not an easy journey. As you begin this journey, you will encounter a lot of things. Wives, when your husband raises his voice in anger, don’t retaliate; remain quiet until his anger subsides.”
The event was more glamorous with seven couples having spent between 15 – 17 years of marriage renewing their vows.
The officiating minister Rev. ASP Canon S.S Adama Okai who presided over the ceremony, underscored the solemnity and importance of the marital vows exchanged by the couples.
