As my Diamond Jubilee approached I really did not have any lofty plans on how I was going to celebrate the milestone on the D-Day apart from maybe taking the family out for lunch after church on Saturday, December 14, the day yours truly was born.
However, God had His own plans for me. Not only did an uncle who heard of the upcoming birthday deliver on his promise to take myself and family on a lunch date on the day, members of the ICGC Holy Ghost Temple Contemporary Choir, which I belong to, also had a surprise waiting for me after church.
Find below some pictures from the 60th birthday lunch treat at the Vine Restaurant in Accra.

One of the things we will never get used to as mortals is death, because losing a loved one is always painful.
The brother of a dear one, Godwin, went to be with the Lord on July 18, 2025 and was buried on Saturday, September 6, 2025. As the Good Book enjoins us to mourn with those who mourn, some brethren, friends and loved ones were with the family at Pokuase in Accra, as they saw off the departed.
Rest in perfect peace, Godwin. #Edmages expresses its sympathies to the bereaved family.

On Saturday, October 18, 2025, sweethearts Michael Norman Danso and Lois Ewuraesi Osei, had their dream of coming together as husband and wife come true.
First to take place on the fateful day was their traditional marriage, otherwise referred to locally as Engagement ceremony, at the residence of the Oseis at Kasoa in the Central Region but close to Accra.
Though basically a family affair, some friends and loved ones were also present to support and witness the two heartthrobs come together.
Whenever singers come together there is harmony, so we wish Mike and Lois, two singers with the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) Discovery Temple, Kasoa, a harmonious journey together.
Sharing some exciting scenes from the traditional marriage below.

On Saturday, August 23, 2025 at the Unique Floral Centre (Prestige Court) at Community 9, Tema, a flower was picked - Adelaide Anderson, and the picker was Nathaniel Russel Attoh.
Friends, family members and work colleagues were present to witness the solemnisation of holy matrimony between the two heartthrobs and wish them well on the life-long journey they have begun.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour." Ecclesiastes 4:9, the invitation quoted.
May Nathaniel and Adelaide indeed have good reward for their labour.
#Edmages captured few of the memorable moments and shares them here.
