Love at first sight: The bride met her groom on her first day at work and they are happily married
We are fascinated by the love story between the bride and the groom.
Albert and his girlfriend Maame tied the knots over the weekend in a star-studded event amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The adorable couple wore matching green kente fabric for the traditional wedding.
The bride stole our heart with her stunning kente dress and simple makeup and elegant hairstyle.
The traditional wedding was followed by a court wedding where the bride and the groom were captured signing their marriage certificate.
What’s fascinating is the love story behind the two.
In a post, the bride explained how she met her husband and we couldn’t wait to share.
“Walking into the Stanbic banking hall on the 15th of June 2015 as a new intern, never did I expect to leave with a husband. My mum told me to speak things into existence and the first day I met Albert. I just called my best friend and told her “I HAVE SEEN MY HUSBAND “(little did I know he really was my husband). I met him on the first day I went to work in the bank. I named him “fine boy “because I didn’t know his name but my heart always skipped a beat when he passed by. He later asked for my name and made it a habit of inviting me for lunch anytime it was lunch time. I always looked forward to eating with him even though it meant I have to be a lady about it. Just 6 months after dating he asked to meet my parents. I always told him the day I would be proposed to I would want it on the skybar so I will feel close to the sky and on top of the world. I love Albert’s attention to detail.
He proposed on the rooftop of Suncity apartment with all the most magical things I would want the candles, roses and the biggest rock I had seen. He always told me he was going to marry me in 2020 though I thought it was far… Here we are 5 years down the line truly marrying in 2020,” the bride shared.

A touch of smock to style up on Easter
Gone were the days when smock was worn only on occasions.
There was this perception that it can only be worn during engagements, weddings and festivals.
Interestingly, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Avonsige has added new touches to the smock, making it a choice for all occasions.
With the new designs, the smock comes in forms of dresses, trousers, bubu dresses and skirts.

Evolution of Hair Extensions: Closures and Frontals
The hair and beauty industry has witnessed remarkable advancements over the years, with evolving trends that enhance both aesthetics and versatility.
One of the most significant transformations in hairstyling is the shift from traditional weave-on extensions to modern closures and frontals.
In the late 1990s, weave-ons were the preferred choice for women looking to add length and volume to their natural hair.
However, with contemporary innovations, closures and frontals have emerged as the new standard, providing a seamless, natural appearance while allowing for greater styling flexibility.
These hairpieces have become an essential part of hairstyling for various occasions, including weddings, parties, religious gatherings, and other social events.
Understanding Closures and Frontals serves the common purpose of enhancing hair volume and styling options while creating a natural-looking hairline.
They differ in structure, coverage, and styling versatility:
Frontals: A frontal is a hairpiece that extends from ear to ear, usually measuring 13 inches in width and 4 to 6 inches in depth.
It provides a full hairline and allows for diverse parting styles, offering the illusion of a completely natural hairline.
Frontals are typically sewn onto bundles or used to construct full wigs, allowing for maximum styling flexibility.
Closures: A closure is a smaller hairpiece, often measuring around 4×4 inches, and is placed at the crown or front section of the head. Unlike frontals, closures offer limited parting space, making them suitable for more defined and structured hairstyles.
However, closures are low-maintenance and provide a realistic finish that seamlessly blends with natural hair.
These innovative hairpieces offer a more seamless and natural look, elevating confidence and allowing for versatile styling options.
As the industry continues to evolve, closures and frontals remain a preferred choice for women seeking sophisticated, stylish, and convenient hair solutions.
