Wedding Benedictions

Nba! A ni ce, Maggie :slight_smile:

Good question – thanks for posting it in the Forum!

The possibilities are endess, but here’s some basic ones that come to mind and that I frequently hear/use in marriage contexts (I’m writing them out in full instead of contracting the k’à or k’u, etc):

  • Ala ka à kɛ furu ye
    ‘May God make it a wedding’
  • Ala ka u kanw bɛn
    ‘May God unite their voices’
  • Ala ka sen ni bolo bɔ à la
    ‘May God make feet and arms come out of it’
    (as in, ‘May God bring them children’)
