I’ve been hearing rumours for some time about Ghana Rising favourite, model Menaye Donkor and footballer Sulley Muntari getting married. I even stumbled across some photographs of said couple looking very happy at what appeared to be a traditional Ghanaian wedding but as I don’t like to speculate -just left it. Anyway, fast-forward a week and another Ghana Rising favourite, Ghana’s journalist du jour, Ameyaw Debrah -posted a link entitled, ‘World Exclusive: Photos from Sulley Muntari and Menaye Donkor’s traditional wedding’ -onto my face book page. Anyway, you can read all about this glamorous wedding via Ameyaw Debrah’s website at: www.ameyawdebrah.com/ -

God Bless Menaye Donkor and footballer Sulley Muntari on their happy union, -they are beautiful. x
