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 at the Underbridge, East Legon, in Ghana.
The traditional wedding ceremony, acclaimed to be a fusion of Nigerian and Ghanaian cultures, including the Ghanaian “knocking” ceremony, where the groom’s family formally requests the bride’s hand in marriage.
The celebration knitted 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.
Highpoint of the ceremony was the grand entrance of the bride in the popular ‘Adowa Dance’ with her bridesmaids, alongside other traditional dancers.
Moses Bliss and Agyare-Wiseborn announced their engagement earlier this year, had their civil wedding in Abuja, on February 27.
The singer had also last Tuesday shared the news of their marriage with a few pictures from the civil wedding on his Instagram page.
Mose Bliss also expressed his excitement over the new milestone and doted on Marie by calling her his “personal gift from God,” in the post.
He wrote: “Civil wedding done! It’s official I’m legally married to my personal gift from God @mariewiseborn Lord we are grateful for helping us this far.”
The singer posted another video later in evening where the newly weds were seen gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes while exchanging their vows.
Marie sat as Bliss serenades her on a grand piano, singing a song he wrote just for her.
Bliss posted an elaborate posted video of his elaborate proposal to Agyare- Wiseborn on the 19th of January.
Moses Bliss later revealed on his Instagram handle that he met Marie on Instagram after she had tagged him in a video of herself dancing to his song Miracle No Dey Tire Jesus.
“I was like ahh, ‘I like the way she praises God, wow she dances like David,” as they say, the rest is now history.
