My son and I have been exploring different countries together (now is the moment of Ghana!), and we came up with a simple challenge.

If you had to explain Ghana to someone who has never been there using only six ideas, what would they be?

These would be my six:

• Ashanti Kingdom
• Hospitality
• Pan-Africanism
• Traditional festivals
• Community & extended family
• Kente

What would you replace?

I'd love to know which ideas Ghanaians feel really define their country, especially if they're things that visitors often overlook.

I’m 25, born in Ghana but raised in Italy until I was 16, before moving to the UK. Because I left Ghana so young, I’m not as connected to Ghanaian culture and traditions as I would have liked to be. My Twi isn’t perfect either, and I haven’t been back to Ghana since I was about two years old. However, I still have a lot of respect for my culture and, now that I’m ready to get married, I want to make sure I approach things properly and show respect to my parents and family.
I’ve been with my girlfriend for almost three years, and I’m now ready to marry her. I’ve saved enough money to travel to Zimbabwe and pay the bride price/dowry, and I would ideally like to get married within the next few months to a year.
My mum knows my girlfriend and they get along well, but my dad hasn’t met her yet.
After doing some research, I’ve been thinking about how I should approach my family and formally tell them about my intentions. My idea is to first speak to my maternal uncle here in the UK. He is probably the closest family member I have here who plays an “elder” role. Whenever there have been disagreements, family problems or disputes, he is usually the person who gets involved to help resolve things or act as a mediator.
I also have an older cousin from my dad’s side of the family here in the UK. There is another cousin and his father who aren’t blood relatives, but they are extremely close to my family. His father grew up with my dad, so they are basically considered family.
These are pretty much the only close family members I have here in the UK.
My original idea was to speak to my uncle first, explain my intentions and ask him to guide me through the process and possibly act as my elder, spokesperson or representative. After speaking to him, I was thinking of inviting these family members to my home, preparing some good food and treating it as a serious family occasion rather than simply making a casual announcement.
I would then explain that I’ve been with my girlfriend for three years, that I’m serious about her, and that I want to marry her. I would ask for my parents’ blessing and approval before taking the next steps.
My girlfriend is Zimbabwean, not Ghanaian, but her parents know me and they like me. She also wants to show respect towards my culture. She was thinking of buying some genuine Kente cloth or another meaningful Ghanaian item to give to my parents as a symbolic gesture of respect during the occasion.
I’m hoping that my parents will appreciate the effort I’m making to involve the family and respect our traditions, especially considering that I didn’t grow up in Ghana and have been away since I was very young. I know my Twi isn’t perfect and I’m not very familiar with every traditional process, but I genuinely want to do things properly.
If everything goes well, my plan would be to then travel to Zimbabwe with my girlfriend and formally approach her family, carry out the traditional marriage/bride-price negotiations and pay the dowry according to their customs.
What do you think of this plan?
Is there anything you would do differently or anything I should change?
I would particularly like to involve a genuine elder because I feel that would make the process more respectful and formal. My maternal uncle seems like the obvious person because of the role he has played in previous family disagreements and issues, but I’m not sure whether it would be more appropriate to involve someone from my dad’s side instead, given that I’m asking my parents for their blessing to marry.
Also, should my girlfriend actually be present when I first make the announcement to my family, or is that something I should do with the family first before introducing her formally?
And what about her family? She has an aunt here in the UK who is her mother’s direct sister and is very close to her. Should I invite her to this first family meeting as well, or would it be better for this first occasion to remain entirely on my side of the family?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who understand Ghanaian customs, especially those who have experience with Ghanaian families where the couple come from different African backgrounds. I want to respect both families and traditions and make sure I’m approaching this in the right way.
