He knelt before her father

He knelt before her father
with palm wine and a promise older than borders.
The trays came one by one.
Gold that would outlive them both.
Kente woven with the patience of a proposal.
Schnapps for the ancestors who said yes first.
In Ghana, you do not just marry a woman.
You negotiate with history.
You honor the village that raised her.
You prove that your family
is worthy of what hers built.
The bride sat and watched a man
earn every inch of the aisle.

this gave me actual chills. my cousin did the knocking ceremony last year and i swear the energy in the room was something else. like you could feel all the generations in that room watching. the way you put it into words though... 'negotiate with history' hit hard. makes me miss home so much 12 days ago
