I met my husband online; he took my engagement list before seeing me physically – Celestine Donkor
Celebrated Ghanaian gospel musician, Celestine Donkor has shared her remarkable love story, which began in the digital realm before blossoming into a beautiful real-life romance.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with TV3’s Cookie Tee on Today’s Woman, the ‘Only You’ hitmaker disclosed that she met her lovely husband, Kofi Donkor online, and what followed was an unconventional yet heartwarming journey to matrimony.
What sets the crooner’s story apart is the unique twist of her husband taking her engagement list from her family before they even met face-to-face.
The multiple award-winning singer detailed that she met her husband through a friend based abroad who introduced her to him (her husband). Kofi Donkor then traveled to Ghana with the specific intention of marrying her after several months of phone conversations.
Their online courtship allowed them to forge a deep emotional bond based on mutual respect, understanding, and shared values long before physical proximity entered the equation. By the time they met in person, they had already laid a solid foundation for their relationship, making the transition from virtual to reality seamless and natural.
“We met through a friend who left Ghana for abroad. They spoke about me, and he took my number, so we were talking on the phone. At the time, it was Yahoo Messenger we were using. My husband then took my engagement list and everything, even before seeing me physically.
“ He came to Ghana purposely to marry me. He said he also prayed about me, and before he met me through my friend, there was a word he was looking forward to. There was just a word hanging on his life, and he was waiting for its manifestation. So when he met my friend and there was a discussion, he got to know that this is the person the man of God spoke about,” she narrated.
