Ghanaian international songstress Noella Wiyaala has revealed that only four people attended her wedding.
These four people, Wiyaala disclosed, were her mother, father, and uncle and her husband.
She was speaking in an interview on the Delay show on Sunday, February 24, 2019, monitored by YEN.com.gh on GHOne TV.
Explaining how such a thing could have happened, Wiyaala said her then husband-to-be proposed to her out of the blue, and on the same day, he requested that they got married.
According to her, she only wore a normal house dress and slippers on that day, but her husband was not bothered and said they could still marry.
She revealed further that there was no ring, but she was comfortable with the arrangement because she did not need a ring to show that she was married.
“The day he proposed was the day we got married. It was only my mother, father, and an uncle who were around at that time.
As for my husband, he doesn’t care too much about the crowd and necessarily inviting his family, so we got married, when I was even in slippers,” Wiyaala disclosed.
“For the ring, I am not a jewellery person, so I do not wear a ring," she added.

What made it marriage in the absence of a ring, a registrar, or the traditional bride price? If true at all, this is silly even in the context of Upper West culture!
Yaw, if you really know the culture of upper west region you wouldn't speak like that, in some tribes the mother is not even needed, you don't need any makeup, ring, canopy, friends or anything, all the family need is fulfilling the bride price which will not be compromised, whether you are rich or poor unless the person want to show off. some place like nandom in the upper west region, your mother, dad and siblings are not needed at the ceremony, its only your fathers brother with some few people with the bride to be and the groom. sometime when the groom has his clan people around the bride's hometown they can join the man to make the marriage with him bringing people all the way from his hometown and everything will be valid
Yes, you don't need a huge crowd to marry, however, two families join to accept a marriage. It shouldn't be only the family of the bride, the groom's family must be present to witness the marriage. It is nice but sorry to say the marriage was a joke.
You should have invited the family of your husband to be to also witness the marriage. A marriage in Ghana is between two families so always remember to ensure that the two families are represented to witness the marriage.
Much to learn. The way Ghana is going, very soon one cannot even afford out-dooring of a baby. We need strong people like Wiyala to reverse the trend and come back to normal. We all want to marry like the queen of England but not all of us are even queens in Ghana. We need to save ourselves from the curse!
