During their brief but meaningful conversation at the funeral, they exchanged contact numbers, laying the foundation for what would soon become a deep connection.

Empress Gifty explained that within weeks of their first encounter, Hopeson surprised her with a brand new car, symbolising his affection and intentions.

However, she noted that her late mother’s guidance played a crucial role during this early stage of their relationship.

When Empress Gifty expressed her interest in marriage, her mother advised her to return the car if she was truly serious about building a future together. Emphasising the importance of values over material gifts, she decided to heed her mother’s wise counsel and return the car.

Just two days after this pivotal decision, Hopeson returned to her house with a heartfelt proposal, seeking her hand in marriage.

This led to the swift planning of a traditional knocking ceremony, a rite that honours family and cultural values in Ghana.

Reflecting on this whirlwind romance, Empress Gifty emphasised the significance of prioritising emotional bonds and shared aspirations over material possessions.

“Sometimes, when you meet someone, don’t let material things cloud your judgment. Focus on building a future together.”
