I got married in 2006. I spent less than 400ghs. Mother and father didn't take anything. Brothers inlaws took 20ghs. Family took 1 create of soft drink,Schnapp and 20ghs. The witnesses were given 20ghs and 1 create of soft drink. The family told me ,they want me to just take good care of their daughter. It pains me I can't find my list. 18yrs now we dey inside
The money involved is just a sign of witnessing… The two are already in love … Cos if families decide to price their daughters no one can actually pay .
This is right. Their daughter is not for sale but for marriage. The most budget is about planning big marriage. What will the couples eat after the marriage?
engagement is what we call knocking and wedding is traditional marriage... that's it... the list you see is the marriage or wedding.. wedding is whiteman... our equivalent of wedding is traditional marriage.... the food and refreshments are done at the traditional marriage... after that court signing...
@@paakwegyir3165 What you wrote you have confused yourself ooo, Traditional marriage is Traditional Marriage, there is nothing call traditional Wedding in our Tradition, after Engagement that is Original Marriage, Wedding is someone to Traditional marriage get that please.
Sheldon, this list is valid and a standard. Whether the family is rich or poor, this is the customary requirement. The rest is your own cost. If you decide to make it pompous and invite the whole world, the expenses that come with it is your own wahala.
this be normal, my dad took just 10 Ghana and my mom just 50 for my sister's dowry . after all this money no go make you turn millionaire. just support young people start life smoothly
The dwatire is like constant in most of the cultures ooo so you go pay. The Akonta sika too e check like the 200 be the standard oo, unless the man marrying your sister put extra. Because my brother did same to me. On the list it was 200, but I received 500 when I opened the envelope.
I have a very rich female friend who's dad said he will not take anything from the man who will come and marry his daughter. And if after the marriage, he hears you've beating his daughter or treat her anyhow, he will come for his daughter....
Sheldon don't worry is not abt the family being rich or not, in the old days they see their children they are now going to face the world so they don't put pressure on them
This was just like my list 8years ago, I have 5 brothers and my dad took only 100 cedis for them. This is just formality because if they are charging based on what they have spent on their daughters, no one will marry. Besides they ❤thinking about the future after marriage
Scanty dey forget say..this is what the family is requesting..the engagement ceremony itself ,food and drinks and other expenses will come in..afterwards a white wedding and reception that has its expenses…the list is decent and I think the bride’s family is taking into consideration the financial strength of the groom after the event
It’s not about them being rich o Sheldon it’s a genuine customary marriage rites list for some of us Akans. Some families just capitalise on their daughters marriage to add unnecessary things and exorbitant prices which is not even right. What is most important is that the man will be able to take very good care of the lady.
A little education here. Please bear in mind the actual Akan marriage is not so expensive. They not selling their daughter. Is called tradition and that’s the appropriate way of marriage.
I got married december last year with a similar list and in total we spent about 45000 to 50000ghc on the entire marriage ceremony, traditional and church wedding (Food and decoration included).... It is funny how Scanty dey talk that this be below average.... You dey play🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Get married first then come let's have this discussion and see if you will still have the same opinion.... Think about how much an average Ghanaian makes a month and then calculate the number of years it will take him to save before he can afford a marriage ceremony that cost about GHC50,000
Guys, let me suggest something on this topic... It can be a whole content on its own... With the list of things mentioned, can you please go out to shops these items can be bought and ask the prices of each of them and then we see the total amount involved. I think it'll be fun to do and watch that video❤❤❤
The Akan Tribe are more than the three you guys mentioned. Kwahu, Asantes, Fantes, Wassa, Bono, Krobo, Akyem, Akwamu, Akuapem, Bono, Denkyira and more are all Akans.
@scanty. don't forget even if u are given this list, from the lady family u have to go for reduction to show u respect the family .. and that is formality
This is just the first phase bros just for the girls family for them to accept your proposal to marry their daughter Other expenses not among this list After this you have to rent a place / church, speakers , MC, Food and water , places you and your grooms and brides maid go sleep after this you will be reaching 80k - 100k this list is just the prelims
Honestly scanty don’t know what goes into this list he is seeing. The ceremony no come yet oooo both the engagement, wedding and refreshment. I think scanty has forgotten all these things. Suit, wedding gown, reception hall and things 😂 He is a small boy
Scanty, this is the required list based on tradition. All the other things they add in a list are not part and not needed for marriage. The Akonta sika, some families even accept 50gh. It is only a formality and not meant for you the brother to decide. In the olden days, they used to take sowing machines, but here they are taking 1,500gh for setup. By the time you are done buying the clothes and everything you will spend like 15k don't forget the refreshments you will do no come yet ooo the one on the list is just for the family. So, from this list, consider like 25k in total to complete it.
But guys, this is just the Traditional Wedding o After they have to go sign at the Court and also The White/Church Wedding as well I don't think Scanty has put all this in his estimation Because all of these put together should get to the 30K he's going on and on about 😊😊😊
My list was no different and i have been married 6 years now. Akonta was 100 cedis. We need to understand its a ceremonial activity and should not break the bank. What's important is how you both make the marriage work.
Actually this Traditional Marriage List is not supposed to be exhaustive. Its the bare minimum the family can consider. It doesnt mean you should do exactly what is provided only. If you feel you can do more, no one stops you from doing that. Skanty, 200ghc can be a lot of money for some farming folks, as well 1000ghc can be very small money for some urban folks. So it really depends on the family, the list that is given, and the capacity of you as the groom to do more outside of the list.
It's tradition. It's not about what you need and what U don't need. D list goes wayyy back. Dey jux make sm small adjustments Wen need be and even with that you need the consent of elders to do dt. I'm a fante and as at 2019 Wen i married, "Tsir NSA" was jux 1000gh. And all dose knocking, acceptance and so so and so money was 100each. So it's no big deal. Paying a lot doesn't mean U value the lady more. U can give dem money outside the list buh Wen it cms to ceremony, tradition must be respected and U do what is on d list.
Don't forget all the things on that list will be bought with money aside the money stated there. Do you know the price of GTP in the market now? If you quantify all that into money, it cost about 10 thousand cedis plus
One thing we may not be realising is that the 3k mentioned here is just the monetary part of the list. The other items in the list will eventually shoot up the amount to between 10k and 20k, depending on the brand and make. Scanty should look at investing his excess after marriage and not before
This list does not include so many things. After the list,you have to rent a place for the event, pay for decor, refreshments, and so many things which you will find out when you about to perform it. It cost much
That’s an extra. It’s up to you to either have a refreshment or not. So cut your coat according to your *********** let’s reason up as Africans and do things our way. It’s that simple.
@esselisaac8507 have you done one yourself? If yes ,you would've typed this.. Even if it's a traditional marriage, people will still be there and need a place to sit and at least drink something. So the place needs to be nice..
If you tell the family that the amount of money is too cheap so you want to pay more, it is disrepectful to it's billing. And you might not been granted the marriage
Scanty the list has been given by the family. You can add more to it. The engagement list isn’t a list for the purchase of the woman. There is more to marriage than an engagement list
These things look cheap but by the time refreshments come in, decorating the venue, music, the attire the bride and groom will wear, and other essential things, it will not cost less than Ghc40,000.
This is what my Fanti family give to my Ga husband and his family doulded everything. We have been marriaged for 19th years❤
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
19th paaa 🤣
Is true Fanti people demma traditional marriage no dey cost like that. Am a Ga too, my woman happens to be a Fanti. 😊
19years paaa!
Akan goes beyond only Asantes, Fantes and Kwahus. The Nzemas, Bonos, Twi Wassa, Sefwis are all Akans
Akuapim and Akyem

I got married in 2006.

Brothers inlaws took 20ghs.
Family took 1 create of soft drink,Schnapp and 20ghs.
The witnesses were given 20ghs and 1 create of soft drink.

The money involved is just a sign of witnessing…
The two are already in love …
Cos if families decide to price their daughters no one can actually pay .
Akan is about 15 ethnic groups. These are Bono, Asantes, Akims, Fantes, Akumpim, Nzemas, Twifo, Denkyeria and many others.
List the many
Nzemas are guans
Baule people of cote d'Ivoire too
Anufor in the north east region are also akans
Please Akan is the ethnic group, the subs are tribes
My father in law gave us some short list and even asked us to cancel what we don’t want from it.
Wow
I saw Sheldon today for Jaleel estate junction today 🤣 I was like eii see dingo 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why u no go meet am?
@@quicktech-guy oh naa 😂
There's where he lives
He stays close to our house at Jaleel Estates here in Pantang
This is right. Their daughter is not for sale but for marriage. The most budget is about planning big marriage. What will the couples eat after the marriage?
If they spend everything now what will they eat if they marry 😂😂😂
That’s what I always think about oo
Wedding ceremony not marriage
Planning a big wedding ceremony
Marriage is what the two will be doing for the rest of their lives.
Sheldon you get missed call from Kyekyeku in his new series.
You guys should not forget that, you will buy all the things they mention inside the least with money oooo.
engagement is what we call knocking and wedding is traditional marriage... that's it... the list you see is the marriage or wedding.. wedding is whiteman... our equivalent of wedding is traditional marriage.... the food and refreshments are done at the traditional marriage... after that court signing...

As scanty start see money ,scanty Dey talk nonesense pass 😂😂😂😂
scanty + Oliver Khan de3 bad combo oooo😂😂😂
this be normal, my dad took just 10 Ghana and my mom just 50 for my sister's dowry . after all this money no go make you turn millionaire. just support young people start life smoothly
Big shouts to my father in law I always dey talk say Ebe only the ahiafuo dey do long list chale
Today, Sheldon has been more reasonable than scanty. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
😂😂😂😂
Scanty is a Joker, he needs to be educated more.
Eeei🤔🙄🙄🙄
The dwatire is like constant in most of the cultures ooo so you go pay.
The Akonta sika too e check like the 200 be the standard oo, unless the man marrying your sister put extra.
Because my brother did same to me. On the list it was 200, but I received 500 when I opened the envelope.
I have a very rich female friend who's dad said he will not take anything from the man who will come and marry his daughter. And if after the marriage, he hears you've beating his daughter or treat her anyhow, he will come for his daughter....
That's exactly what my Dad always says😂
Sheldon you for reply Kyekyeku😂😂😂😂 He diss you 😂😂😂
Sheldon please investigate if Scanty get some blood money 😂😂
heerrrr scanty kraaa why this is just the list oooo the ceremony set no drop oooo. remember there is the wedding and reception too dey ooo bro
Scanty dey talk oo 😂😂😂😂😂
Marriage is a tradition and not a business or trade. It's this era that has changed everything.
Sheldon don't worry is not abt the family being rich or not, in the old days they see their children they are now going to face the world so they don't put pressure on them
This was just like my list 8years ago, I have 5 brothers and my dad took only 100 cedis for them. This is just formality because if they are charging based on what they have spent on their daughters, no one will marry. Besides they ❤thinking about the future after marriage
This is just the list. The real headache now is the venue, food, clotjing and etc
Venue for what pls? Traditional marriage is done at home. The refreshments we do is just up to us. You can decide not to.
Kwadwo Sheldon studios pays really well.
The way Scanty talks big dierr chale😂😂
Scanty dey forget say..this is what the family is requesting..the engagement ceremony itself ,food and drinks and other expenses will come in..afterwards a white wedding and reception that has its expenses…the list is decent and I think the bride’s family is taking into consideration the financial strength of the groom after the event
That is the real marriage and the white wedding is our choice that's killing us
I see am den I start dey laugh,I was lyk ah 5000 wey dem wan type wey de printer mk mistake or wat😂😂😂

This is the standard list for Akans ooo. My list was the same. It's a tradition and you can't change anything on it.
Traditionally this the original list because
they are not selling their DAUGHTER TO YOU .MOREOVER THE PARENTS THINK ABOUT THEIR FUTURE FUTURE
The way then go bill scanty if he Dey go marry somebody e daughter.
This is exactly the list for any Akan Traditional marriage.
Akonta go collect wherever he sees you that’s why it’s only 200 for him but remember he collect from you wherever he sees 😁

Some family think about life after the marriage not the ceremony, that is why most family give cheap list especially the Akans
We nor go marry oo, we just go sign papers and stay together what are all these 😂😂
The Akan Tribe are more than the three you guys mentioned. Kwahu, Asantes, Fantes, Wassa, Bono, Krobo, Akyem, Akwamu, Akuapem, Bono, Denkyira and more are all Akans.

I can't believe Scanty right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes most of the things are for formalities and tradition purposes.
It’s the wedding (the church ceremony) that’s most expensive.
Some times the list changes base on the the level of education the lade is
if no be the ring like ago talk sey this bi ma sisto ein list😂
atake the 200 like that wai😂
I am an Ada and Thisss is similar to ours Traditional wedding is not sooo Expensive,it’s very Okay
Except you want to add more 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Usually this this the typical list. But the accompaniment makes it all expensive.
Decor, music, food, rents and hotel
Dowry in Ghana is actually not expensive ... People have only escalated the ceremonies these days, that's all.
Ah buh Sheldon ebi long time wey i see your proposal video… Abeg oh when is the wedding coming on or you do wey ano here 😂😂😂
I keep asking myself this
If you tell the family that the amount of money is too cheap so you want to pay more, it is disrepectful to it's billing. And you might not been granted the marriage
Scanty has forgotten he is there to speak on others behalf
Scanty is really controversial and we like that 😂
what Scanty dey talk no dey make sense 🤣🤣
Eish😂😂😂
Scanty go kill we oooh. Bible be 50 Gh wey new testament be 5 cedis 😂😂😂
God, locate me this family to marry from.
This one derrr, Sheldon Win 🎉🎉🎉😂
In my family, we don't give any list.
The prices have actually increased
It was less 5-6 years ago 😊
True...
Invite lawyer and historian Anokye
Scanty the list has been given by the family. You can add more to it. The engagement list isn’t a list for the purchase of the woman. There is more to marriage than an engagement list
As for me di3 I dey see say de girl turn burden gv ein family dat be y dem wan mk she go sharp sharp mk dem get peace😂😂😂
Scanty Akans no be Asantes and Fantes only oo
Ebi 4
It’s Asantes,Fantes,Bono and Akuapem
This is the correct list for the Akans
Scanty has a gen z mindset
It disrespectful that a family gives you a list in you increase the prices .
I dey wait for Scanty marriage
Bro the traditional marriage de333 ein no dey cost ooooo ein bi the white wedding n the reception that be where all the expenses dey go
These things look cheap but by the time refreshments come in, decorating the venue, music, the attire the bride and groom will wear, and other essential things, it will not cost less than Ghc40,000.
scanty be fun fooler pass😂
Scanty I will save this video for you future in-laws just because you said it’s too cheap for you😅😅😅😅
Even with this list u must go for negotiations from the family. If u don’t go they will fine you for not going
