In a heartwarming revelation that has captured public attention, the younger brother of the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Hon. Sam George, has shared the unusual but beautiful story of how he met his now-wife—through Snapchat.
The couple tied the knot in a grand and elegant wedding ceremony yesterday, attended by family, friends, dignitaries, and well-wishers from across the country. While the ceremony itself was a spectacle of love and celebration, it was during an interview at the reception that the groom opened up about the digital twist in their love story.
“Funny story, I met my wife on Snapchat, actually,” he said with a smile. “It was an interesting evening—I was at work, doing a late-night shift. I opened Snapchat and, usually, I’m the only one on Snap Map. But that night, I saw her, and I decided to text her. She happened to be awake, we started talking, and that led to a friendship. And here we are today—married.”
His story highlights the evolving nature of modern relationships, where social media platforms like Snapchat are increasingly playing a role in connecting people in meaningful ways. It also reflects the broader impact of digital technology in our everyday lives, a sector his older brother Sam George continues to champion as a key government official.
The newlyweds’ story has resonated with many, especially younger Ghanaians, who see digital platforms not just as tools for entertainment, but also for building lasting human connections.
As the joyous celebration continues, the couple’s journey from a late-night Snapchat message to a wedding altar serves as a reminder that sometimes, love truly can be just a message away.
