Cornelius and Fenja Traditional Wedding
Cornelius and Fenja Traditional Wedding
A wedding day is always a memorable day for the bride and groom. A traditional wedding is the proper way and the proper thing to do before being recognized as husband and wife.
Cornelius Kayode and Fenja Klages tied the knot traditionally on an occasion that had to do with the families of both couples present from far and near to grace the occasion with well-wishers.
The groom’s family asked for Fenja’s hands in marriage, which was accepted by her family.
All the family requirements were presented as they were requested, such as an engagement ring, a suitcase, fruits, etc.; all of these were traditionally used to bless the couple.
Two masters of ceremonies coordinated the event: Alaga Ijoko, representing the bride’s family, and Alaga Iduro, representing the groom’s family.
Thank God for Mrs. Sterling Olubumi, who masterminded the event, doing multiple jobs as Alaga Iduro and Alaga Ijoko.

Sir, please introduce yourself. Yeah, so I’m Jim Burwell, aka Papa Jim. That’s what everybody calls me. I am so happy to be here. Please, can you tell? Can you tell us? What is the relationship between the gray bride and the groom? Yeah.
So I met Cornelius in 2019. And we were doing the HXP project. So a service project where we were building a school and following suit
And we became really good friends ever since and just stayed in touch. And then I came back in 2021 and did another school with him. And Cornelius is just a guy who gives, and he gives, and then he gives a little more in the service he did.
I was so touched, and we’ve just been friends ever since. And actually, his bride, whom I just met four days ago, I’ve heard a lot about, but when I got invited to come to the wedding and B was his bill and father for the wedding, I was so excited and honored. My wife and I came, and they’re just the greatest couple. Just awesome.
So what would be your advice to a couple? My advice to the couple is forgiveness. Man, everybody makes mistakes, and in marriages, you make mistakes. Make sure you forgive each other and love unconditionally. That’s where happiness comes from: forgiveness.

I am the father to Fenya, and I travel all the way from Germany to Ghana for my daughter’s wedding with Cornelius.
I wished my daughter and her husband a long and good time and to be strong together.
It’s my first time visiting Fenya and Cornilius here in Ghana, and I believe they will have a hamonic relationship going on and on.
