An Englishwoman has taken self-love to its ultimate extreme by marrying herself in an "incredibly empowering" ceremony attended by almost 50 of her friends.
Grace Gelder married Grace Gelder earlier this year at an "idyllic farmhouse in rural Devon". Her parents were not present - "mainly for logistical reasons" - but, according to an interview in the Guardian, they did send "supportive texts throughout the day."
Some of Ms/Mrs/Mr Gelder's friends suggested "in a light-hearted way" that perhaps the exercise was "a bit narcissistic". But she herself decided that she was "completely comfortable" with her "motivations."

Additional ‘thot’...
I know a woman who has created another profile on the facebook and married herself. She is on her way to becoming a cat lady (can’t outright say crazy). A sad state of affairs and she is barely 40 these days.
