Three new couples were joined in Holy Matrimony on this Year’s Valentine’s Day mass wedding organised by Accra based leading radio station, Happy 98.9FM.
Known as the Happy Mass Wedding, it marked the 18th edition. The event introduced in 2006 by the radio station has seen hundreds of couples realise lifetime dreams of walking down the aisle with their partners.
Wednesday’s event, held at the prestigious L’amour Events Centre to commemorate the Valentine’s Day celebration showcased couples adorned in exquisite gowns; looking elegant as they exchanged their vows.
Hosted by Rev. Nyansa Boakwa and Akua Sika, the ceremony was graced by notable guests including Ernest Boateng-Group CEO of Global Media Alliance, CEO of Ghana Free Zones Authority, Ambassador Michael Ocquaye Jnr.; Director of Broadcasting Global Media Alliance, Timothy Karikari; Chief Superintendent Asare Bediako-Fmr. Adabraka Commander, Programmes Manager of Happy FM, Kwabena Ampong, Chief Inspector Frank Bora from Kwabenya District Command and PW Constable Alberta Kportuse, Kwabenya District Command.
During the celebration, Mr. Boateng emphasised the cultural significance of marriage in the Ghanaian society, highlighting the values upheld by Global Media Alliance, the parent company of Happy 98.9 FM.
“Through the Happy FM Valentine Mass Wedding, we have not only joined couples in Holy Matrimony, but we have also provided them with the education required to sustain their marriages through effective premarital counselling sessions and also build a strong financial foundation, he said.”
Mr Michael Ocquaye Jnr. encouraged couples to embrace the challenges and adventures of marriage, emphasising love, commitment and mutual respect as the essentials to a happy marriage.
“Marriage is not an easy journey. As you begin this journey, you will encounter a lot of things. Wives, when your husband raises his voice in anger, don’t retaliate; remain quiet until his anger subsides.”
The event was more glamorous with seven couples having spent between 15 – 17 years of marriage renewing their vows.
The officiating minister Rev. ASP Canon S.S Adama Okai who presided over the ceremony, underscored the solemnity and importance of the marital vows exchanged by the couples.
The event was supported by Tasty Tom, Cake Techniks International, Enkasa Fabrics, Yoofi Clothings, Hannah Moore Fashion, Twinnie Kraft, HS Studios, 2nd Image, Favours Decor, L’Amour Events, Perception Management International, EProductions and others.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
