Photos: Ghanaian bride wears sneakers on her wedding day, explains her decision

A Ghanaian bride, Vera Ewura Obeng opted for custom-made desert boots
for her wedding on July 13. According to the professional photographer,
she took the decision after seeing the pain most women go through in a
bid to look glam on their Big Day. In a Facebook posted on July 20th,
the bride explained her choice of footwear and of course, clapped back
at those making fun of her.

“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…”
