The image, which was posted to Instagram, has since gone viral and received both positive and negative attention, but major kuddos to Tetteh who has ignored the haters and kept her pre-wedding glow.
“Still confident. Your rubbish comments ain’t ruining my happiness,” she captioned one photo. “Thanks to all for the compliments and best wishes, am honored.”
Kojo spoke to Starr News‘ who said that loving his woman, no matter her size, despite what anyone says, is all that matters.
“In every society there are people who will try to discourage you from things that you seek to do but I am not bothered at all,” he said. “To me, I have always been a fan of plus size women and I am so proud of my woman and I don’t care about what anybody says out there.”
We wish these two nothing but the best in their wedded bliss!
