The atmosphere at the Accra International Conference Centre was filled with love and excitement on Valentine's Day as 28 couples were joined in holy matrimony at the 11th Edition of the annual Happy FM Valentine Mass Wedding.

The Valentine Mass Wedding which is an annual CSR event of Happy FM continues to gain much popularity and bless many more homes in the country.

The ceremony was officiated by a selection of well-known religious leaders including Rev. Eric Amanoo from the Royal House Chapel International. Ohemaa Mercy and Annette D also electrified the atmosphere with their amazing performances.

According to Mr. Kwame Gyan, Head of Brands Communication and Marketing at Global Media Alliance Broadcast Company, the parent company of Happy FM, the success of this 11th edition of the mass wedding shows how determined we are at Happy FM to continue to positively impact the lives of many more families.

"This year's event is an improvement of the previous years in all stages due to the hard work invested into it and the fact that we want to sustain it for a very long time.

We are concerned about the welfare of families as a station and we believe the best way to show love on Valentines Day is to bring many more families together through this event, adding that we thank all our sponsors and listeners for supporting us make this event a success."

This year's mass wedding was successful by all standards; however, one observation that was made was how many people have embraced the event. The Conference Centre was filled to capacity and over-flowed to the lobby on the day.

As part of the celebration the couples, their families and friends were treated to a mouth-watering reception at the Officers Mess, Burma Camp. They also received a package which includes a weekend stay at Erata Hotel and other gift vouchers.

The Happy FM Valentine Mass Wedding is an annual CSR initiative by Happy 98.9 FM, the number one sports station in Ghana.

The station gives couples the opportunity to tie the knot at virtually no cost to them at all.
