Anita Sefa Boakye's wedding
The couple's marriage ceremony is in sharp contrast with the wedding of Anita Sefa Boakye, daughter of the owner of Anita Hotel in Kumasi.
As previously reported by YEN.com.gh, Anita got married to Barima Osei Mensah, the owner of Adinkra Pie, in a big wedding in the Ashanti regional capital of Kumasi.
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.
