Joe Ghartey trends for taking just a ring and Bible as daughter’s bride price

He asked that they bring only a ring and a Bible, rather than the usual long list of items such as money and clothes, drinks, and hampers.

This, he said, was something he learned from his father-in-law, who only asked that his family bring a Bible and a ring, which he believes is the symbol of every marriage.

Your husband’s family brought the ring and Bible.

When I went for your mother’s hand in marriage, I also took just a ring and Bible to the family

I might be dead and gone by that time, but it will be proper to do so

A spokesperson for the groom’s family also praised the renowned politician for not inflating his daughter’s bride price and instead accepting only a ring and a Bible in exchange for her hand in marriage.

He said that the couple had just begun life and didn’t want to burden them and as part of his wishes, only requested a ring that will symbolize that the woman is married and a Bible that will serve as a guide in time of trouble.”
