Efya’s Mother Blesses Her During Veiling
One of the most emotional moments came during the veiling, when Efya’s mother placed the white veil over her daughter’s face and prayed for her.
“Go and show the world what you’re made of. You were brought up to be a woman of virtue, and you will succeed,” she said, according to GhanaWeb.
She also prayed for a successful marriage and encouraged Efya to go into the journey with faith and commitment. She said she hoped her daughter’s marriage would surpass her own and that of Efya’s grandparents, who have been married for more than 56 years. She added that she supported Efya’s choice of husband and believed God would bless the couple.
From Kente to White: A Two-Day Celebration
The white wedding capped a weekend of festivities that started on Friday with the traditional marriage. As we reported, the traditional ceremony brought together guests including Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister Dzifa Abla Gomashie and Akuapem Paramount Chief Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III, according to MyJoyOnline.
Efya wore a custom kente gown for that occasion, while Tomi Thomas arrived in kente with gold accessories, accompanied by traditional musicians.
Earlier Reports of a Private Ceremony
The couple first made headlines in February 2026, when videos from a private gathering at Trassaco Phase II in Accra went viral on Valentine’s Day. At the time, Efya’s management told Adom FM it was a private knocking ceremony and not a wedding, adding that the family process had not been completed.
“The whole thing was not supposed to come out. So, I am wondering why someone would share the videos,” the management said then.
Who Is Tomi Thomas?
Tomi Thomas is a Nigerian singer known for his R&B and Afrobeats sound. He has worked with Ghanaian acts before, including a feature on Stonebwoy’s Hotter Fire.
Efya, one of Ghana’s most respected female vocalists, now joins a list of Ghanaian stars, including Becca, who have married Nigerian partners.
With both the traditional and white weddings now done, congratulations continue to pour in for the couple from fans and colleagues across Ghana and Nigeria.
