In a viral social media post, the woman said, “I thought the man buys everything,” referring to the common assumption that men are responsible for all wedding expenses.

The post has prompted thousands of users to weigh in, sharing personal experiences and opinions on bridal showers, dowries, and who should foot the bill for various ceremonies.
Cultural commentators say the debate highlights the tension between tradition and contemporary practices, noting that Ghanaian weddings often balance customs with practical realities.

The discussion continues to trend online, revealing how deeply wedding traditions are ingrained in Ghanaian society and how evolving perspectives are challenging conventional norms.
