The entering of a marriage institution is very vital in the lives of many people across this continent. The African society have been holding the norms of traditional marriages since time immemorial. It is the aim of every young lady to get married to a very promising or successful man when the time comes for her to marry.

Therefore, decisions regarding marriages are very important since one ought to think through well before deciding and accepting to marry someone. In the olden days, people use to marry at a very tender age, but recently due to cultural infiltration from the Western Civilization, the average age for someone (especially) ladies to enter into marriage is now between 23-30 years.

Factors such as schooling, career accomplishments, and other life objectives come to play in determining the time one will want to marry. It is now normal for ladies to decide to marry after completing their first degree in studies.

This has been epitomized by the marriage of one University of Cape Coast Student who just completed her first degree in 2019. Miss. Florence Antwi enrolled in the UCC in 2015 where she studied Commerce with options in Accounting. But little did she know that she would meet her husband in her third year of study and there was no probability that it would even be her own lecturer.

Dr. Idun Asare, the lecturer in question here, lectured Miss Florence in Business Research Methods in her third year, and as fate would have it, they got to know themselves better and started studying themselves and hoping for a future together.

They kept their relationship to themselves and away from the students and other lecturers in the department. As a result of this, it was almost impossible for her classmates to know that she had something doing with the lecturer. A professional relationship indeed!

Miss Florence graduated in September 2019 and it was clear that anytime on wards, she would be married by her Lecturer whom she had dated for a while now. It has been almost 7 months since Miss Florence started her mandatory national service and to the surprise of her classmates, she has been married just last Friday 22nd May, 2020 by Dr. Idun Asare.

However, due to the current social distancing measures implemented by the government, they only had their traditional marriage privately and would be having their white wedding any time soon when these restrictions have been eased.

The is some of the unusual things to happen to anyone but University they say, is a universal world!

Pictures from their Traditional wedding have been posted below.
