Photos
of Ghanaian photographer, Vera Ewura Obeng, who decided to wear
sneakers on her wedding day went viral last week. She ditched the fancy high heels for a red sneaker that stuck out like a sore thumb!
Vera in a Facebook message explained why she opted for the ‘trending’ look:
After being a wedding photographer(#VeraObengphotography) for 6 years its only fair that I learn not to repeat what Brides go through over and over again.
For me,
What is the point in wearing heels to church and remove it during
reception? I just don’t get it. If you want heels wear it through out
the event. I wore mine for 9 hours. I see Brides complaining about the heels all the time. It even doesn’t make my photos nice. My “comboo” as some are calling it is actually custom made “#HORESEMAN HOOVES “.
“we all copy and paste including me. Our problem is we do it without reading through what we have copied”
For those saying I am #manifest sister,
“eeeiiii ghanafo) kasa” I’ve only seen him once. It was from a distance
in a hotel I went to work in. It would be nice to have him as a big
brother though. Never heard any of his songs except the recent one to #sarkodie. And I can say I don’t understand a thing. Call me “kolo”. ” I like it like that”
Again for those suggesting my husband should have been in something similar, thanks a lot for your suggestion. The idea was
not to “combine powers like captain planet “. He is an academician and I
am an artist. We can only adjust but not to change who we are. He loves
me and I do love him also. No need to change. “love you hFestus Attah Isoah Iso
And for my dress, I just don’t get the bit where I spend thousands of mahama cedis on a dress I can’t wear again.. “I just can’t think far”. Invite me to your baby christening and I will gladly come in it.
For me this was my dream wedding, if you choose to wear a heel as tall as me, at the end of the day, its all about our choices.
Note that I don’t have anything against wearing of heels and gowns. (you look like disney princesses )
To all those who made Wednesday 13th July a Special day for my
husband and I, thank you. You have no Idea what it means to us. For
those who “run” away to come, I hope yBetty AidoodidnBetty Aidoo
