The lavish wedding which started on Friday, November 6, 2021, lasted for four days with the bride changing clothes 11 times.
Apart from all that, a whole new mansion was built for Anita to use purposely for her four-day marriage ceremony.
Anita is also reported to have worn an expensive earring that cost over GHC40,000 on her wedding day.
