The two-day affair took Accra by storm, as the bride is the daughter of Salma Salifu, a well-known fashion designer who has been featured in the Wall Street Journal.No wonder the bride wore a whopping SEVEN outfits for the traditional engagement on the 8th of August 2015, and for the Nikkai the next day. All her outfits were designed by her mother, of course. The colors of the day for Saturday were fuchsia pink and guests were dressed in all white. The bride was accompanied by 18 of her friends and family as she danced. Esteemed guests included Adama Indimi and Amissah Arthur, wife of the Ghanaian Vice President.

The pair has been dating for the past two years and Raymond decided to propose to her in the midst of all friends and family by throwing a party during the Christmas holidays. He has also decided to convert from Christianity to Islam because of the marriage. According to Starr FM online. He stated,

“I was born a Christian, baptized a Christian but all my friends are Muslims. I am making the decision and my parents and in-laws have been very supportive. My father has been very helpful and the understanding is there.”

They were joined in matrimony by 92-year-old Ghana’s National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu. The groom was given the Muslim name Abdul Aziz to mark his conversion. The MC was Live FM’s Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD).
