Happy FM celebrates 20th anniversary of flagship Valentine Mass Wedding Initiative
Happy 98.9 FM, Ghana’s leading radio station, marked the 20th anniversary of its Valentine Mass Wedding initiative, a community investment project that promotes family values and celebrates love.
The ceremony, held at Bethel Baptist Church in Dansoman, brought together nine couples in holy matrimony after over a month of intensive premarital counselling conducted by Rev. Gabriel Sekyi-Yorke, Senior Pastor of Bethel Baptist Church, alongside Rev. Kofi Annan and Mrs. Mary Anna Adu-Gyamfi.
“Twenty years ago, Happy FM embarked on a journey to bring people together, to create bonds, and to celebrate the beauty of love in all its forms. We are proud of this initiative and the fact that successive leaders have kept the dream alive to date, “ said Dr. Timothy Karikari, Director of Broadcast at Global Media Alliance Broadcasting Company. “Through this initiative, we have witnessed over 800 couples take the step of walking down the aisle, united in their promise to one another.”
The event drew numerous dignitaries, including H.E. Ambassador Edward Boateng(Founder of Global Media Alliance for former Ambassador to the Peoples Republic of China), Mr. Charles Osei Asibey, Director of Ghana Armwrestling, Reverend Canon Dr. Selwyn Sylvanus Adama Okine (Deputy Director of Prisons) among others.
Mr. Ernest Boateng, Chief Executive Officer of Global Media Alliance, emphasized that the initiative extends beyond the wedding day itself. “Pre-marital counselling became the cornerstone of this program because a wedding is not just a day but for a lifetime,” he explained. “The essence is standing together, lifting each other up, and walking hand in hand throughout life’s journey, even in challenging times.”
For a commitment fee of GH₵1,000, participating couples received a comprehensive wedding package including costume, church ceremony, reception, professional photography and videography, makeup, hotel accommodation for honeymoon, luxury vehicles and official marriage registration with both the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and the Registrar General’s office.
The event was supported by numerous sponsors, including Blue Jeans Energy Drink, Tasty Tom, Perla, Cake Tekniks, Kasapreko, TSG Drive, 2nd Image International, Erata Hotel, among several others committed to strengthening community bonds and family values.
As part of the anniversary celebration, long-standing counsellors, sponsors, and partners were honoured with citations in recognition of their continued support over the two decades.
