• The article explores the evolving landscape of marriage in Ghana, highlighting the coexistence and perceptions of traditional ceremonies and modern 'white weddings'.
• Traditional marriages, which vary across Ghana's diverse ethnic groups (Akan, Ewe, Ga, Mole-Dagbani, Guan), are fundamentally seen as a union of families.
• 'White weddings' are widely desired by many Ghanaians for their aesthetic beauty, emotional appeal, and sometimes religious significance, despite not being considered legally necessary for an Ordinance marriage.
• The Judicial Service of Ghana clarifies that an Ordinance marriage's legal validity is independent of a white gown or church setting, and traditional marriages can be potentially polygamous while Ordinance marriages are monogamous.
• Ultimately, the article suggests that while white weddings are beautiful and memorable, what truly matters is the couple's commitment, financial readiness, and motivation for their chosen ceremonies.

• The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has issued a warning against fraudsters posing as staff to sell fake meters and demand payments via personal mobile money accounts.
• Fraudsters operate by selling meters through individuals or social media, or by calling customers and requesting payment to personal MoMo numbers for services.
• ECG emphasizes that it operates a fully cashless payment system, requiring all payments to be made exclusively through the official ECG Power App or the shortcode *226#.
• Payments made to personal mobile money numbers do not reach ECG, will not reflect on customer accounts, and could result in customers receiving unregistered meters treated as illegal connections.
• Customers are advised to verify all requests, avoid buying meters from individuals or online ads, only use official ECG channels for services and payments, and report suspicious activities to ECG and the police.
