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."

It helped that she had recently been "on a journey of personal development using meditation, dance and performance" to increase her "self-awareness," especially a Shakti Tantra programme "focused on sexuality and how this was bound up with making agreements with yourself and other people."

Her self-married status, she is aware, carries no legal standing. But one happy result of this is that in the unlikely event she ever tires of her own company - "just because I married myself doesn't mean that I'm not open to the idea of sharing a wedding with someone else one day" - she will not technically qualify as a bigamist

... or that 50 of her “friends” didn’t tell her she was batshit crazy and they weren’t going to attend such a farce unless there was an open bar.

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.
