It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life — but for Peter Alloh, a groom-to-be, it turned into an emotional rollercoaster, thanks to one man: his goldsmith.
Appearing on Nhyira FM’s Obra Show, Peter shared his heartbreak after his well-planned wedding fell apart at the last minute because the custom-made wedding rings were never delivered.
According to Peter, he struck a deal with a goldsmith who charged GH¢7,500 to produce the rings. He paid GH¢5,000 upfront, with the agreement to pay the rest upon delivery. But instead of the rings, Peter got a string of excuses.
“He kept saying ‘next week, next week’ — until there were no more weeks left,” Peter lamented. “All preparations were in place — the family had gathered, food was ready, and the bride was glowing with excitement. But the rings… the rings were nowhere to be found,” he said, sounding more heartbroken than a groom left at the altar.
The missing rings have since caused friction between both families. Some of the bride’s relatives suspect Peter of misusing the money for the ring, while others now wonder if he was ever serious about the wedding at all.
To make matters worse, rumours emerged that the goldsmith may have resold the rings—or perhaps never intended to make them in the first place.
“I don’t even want the rings again,” Peter snapped on air. “All I need now is my money!”
When finally tracked down, the goldsmith claimed he didn’t mean to ruin the wedding—he had simply run out of gold. Yes, gold! Apparently, the global gold crisis has hit our dear artisans too.
He apologized and pleaded that the matter be settled “between just the two of them.” But from Peter’s face, it’s clear this was no ordinary misunderstanding — this was heartbreak dipped in 24-carat disappointment.
The Obra Show panel, made up of life coach Big Mama, Lady Gold White, and Evangelist Degraft Addae, didn’t mince words. They urged Peter to seek legal redress and called on the goldsmith to make a public statement and refund the money. Big Mama put it bluntly: “If you can’t finish the gold, don’t start the glitter!”
Show Host, Ohemaa Benewaa, known for turning chaos into clarity, called the incident “deeply troubling” and used the moment to remind service providers of their responsibilities, especially when it comes to something as sacred as marriage.
