April Fool’s wedding? Actor Harold Amenyah explains why he said ‘I do’ on April 1st

Ghanaian actor Harold Amenyah has shared details about his wedding. The event was exclusive and private, as it appeared.

During a cooking show on UTV on April 13, 2025, Harold explained the ceremony's rules. Phones were banned, and only 100 guests attended. These guests were mainly family and close friends. Even those from the entertainment industry were not invited.

“My wedding was very private; no phones were allowed,” he said. “It was boldly written at the entrance.”

Despite the phone ban, one picture leaked and went viral. Harold noted that a guest ignored the rules and took photos. “The first picture that started trending was taken by someone who knew phones weren’t allowed,” he said, showing both amusement and disappointment.

He described the event as intimate: “With just 100 people, including family, it felt small.” He added that if he had known about the leak, he would have invited more people.

The viral photo sparked curiosity about his bride, who had remained out of public view until then. “We still haven’t found who leaked the picture,” he said. “I suspect they wanted to prove they were there.”

Harold revealed that keeping the wedding low-key was his wife’s idea. She didn’t fully understand the pressure of marrying a public figure at first.

“It was my wife’s decision to make it private,” he explained. “The controversy helped her realize what she was stepping into.”

In a sweet twist, Harold shared they married exactly one year after meeting—on April 1st. This date raised eyebrows since it is April Fool’s Day.

“I met my wife a year before we got married,” he said. “Some questioned why we chose April 1 for our anniversary.” Before meeting her, he had been single for three years.

Reflecting on how things unfolded, Harold admitted it wasn’t ideal but felt destined to happen.

“My wife’s picture started trending around 3 p.m., right after the ceremony,” he recalled. They hadn’t released any official photos yet.

“We quickly called our photographer to release pictures for damage control,” he added. Since phones weren’t allowed, whoever took that photo must have done so secretly.

“Of course, it wasn’t the best quality,” he noted. “But in the end, I believe everything happened for a reason.”
