Faustina,
a
Ghanaian
woman
based
in
Germany
has
shared
her
unconventional
love
story
and
the
circumstances
surrounding
her
marriage
to
her
German
husband
As
disclosed
by
her,
although
her
parents
did
not
support
the
marriage,
she
knew
what
she
wanted
and
decided
to
pursue
it.
In
an
interview
with
DJ
Nyaami
on
SVTV
Africa,
Faustina
revealed
that
she
paid
for
their
wedding
only
one
month
after
meeting
her
husband
in
Accra.
She
added
that
her
husband
was
honest
about
his
financial
situation,
clarifying
that,
contrary
to
common
belief,
not
all
white
people
are
wealthy.
Faustina
appreciated
his
honesty
and
saw
something
special
in
him,
leading
her
to
propose
marriage.
“I
met
him
in
Accra
when
he
was
looking
for
an
affordable
hotel.
We
exchanged
numbers,
and
he
called
in
the
next
three
days.
One
thing
led
to
the
other,
and
we
agreed
to
marry.
He
did
not
have
the
money
for
the
ceremony,
so
I
gave
him
some.”
Faustina
said
her
husband
later
refunded
the
money
when
he
returned
to
Germany.
She
stayed
back
in
Ghana
to
learn
the
German
language
and
get
the
needed
travel
documentation
to
join
him.
She
added
that
initially,
her
parents
were
not
in
support
of
the
marriage
because
of
the
age
gap,
the
rapid
progression
of
their
relationship,
and
financial
concerns.
However,
over
time,
her
family
accepted
and
supported
their
marriage.
