Getting Married on Ghana Time: a Ghanaian Wedding

“Ten a.m. And actually at ten, not Ghana time,” Pomaa said. “Because it is at the Catholic church and they are on time.”

Pomaa’s brother was getting married in Accra and she had invited us to attend, and I was very excited to go. It was time to nail down the details, in order to arrange everything.

“It’s at the Catholic church by the post office, Martyrs of Uganda, and it will be a joint wedding with his best friend. And he is a military man, so I think that maybe it might even be early,” she continued. “The colors of the wedding are red, gold and white. Can wear whatever, but Ghanaians try to match the colors. I’m going to be wearing red and white.”

After figuring out some of the travel details with my roommate and predecessor, all that was left was for Saturday to arrive.
