We will fight. Right now deciding whether to appeal or reapply - appeal will be held here in Canada which is a plus, reapply will be faster but back in Accra where they are not accountable. Trying to figure our best next move.

Me ooo, I take this woman's job if I can....she is on a power trip....messing with people's lives.....karma will get her in the end.
I will advice you to do traditional or white wedding here, you can snap enough pictures with both parents, family and friends.
Work on the areas that they are having doubt about the marriage.
Appeal will take like 1 to 3 years depends on how lucky you are, forget about the appeal and do the needful.
Unless you guys are ready to stay separate for like 1 to 3 years, re apply is the best option.
Good luck
