Gideon Danso, the head pastor at Empowerment Worship Centre, announced his fiancée, Gina Nipah, to congregants on Sunday, April 20.
While many were expecting a huge wedding, the head pastor established that he and his partner had officially tied the knot, and it cost him just GH¢600 shortly after the announcement.
In a video he shared on social media, the renowned pastor said,
“Whether you believe it or not, it cost me GH¢600. There was no makeup, no suit, no veil. I called Reverend, he came, we signed, we took vows, he blessed us, we served Malt and Fanta. No food, no nothing. I don’t owe anybody.”
According to Counselor Lutterodt, the union between the pastor and his wife is an insult to womanhood and marriage as an age-old institution.
He made his statement about the union during Angel FM's DriveTime show with Koo Sebor and re-echoed his stance at a recent marriage ceremony he attended.
On the radio, Counselor Lutterodt argued that it was unwise for the pastor to opt for a financially modest wedding.

He claimed the decision was aimed at glorifying poverty, which must not be encouraged.
"When a man goes to borrow money for his wedding, it's wise... You can't sit there and tell us you used GH¢600 to marry so you're the best person...Why do we like glorifying poverty?"
In a recent video sighted by Yen.com.gh, the controversial counselor again criticised the trending union which he believes undermines the value of marriage.
"The value of marriage is being lost because of poverty. If you choose to do marriage at your expense, it doesn't mean that is how marriage is supposed to be. For Bishop Danso to say he married his wife at GH¢600 is an insult to womanhood."
"If you don't have money, don't marry. Stay in your room," he added.
