About Ghana, from Easter to December
In Ghana a marriage begins with the knocking, or kookoo ko, the formal visit of the groom's family to the bride's, followed by the engagement and the church or civil wedding. Many events are held at weekends from Easter, and December is the busiest month, as it is for Nigeria. The rains in May and June move some events to halls. Families wear kente or other cloth, and the Muslim communities of the north follow the Islamic calendar.
