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.

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.

Its a ‘Same Sex’ marriage alright. Now if she later on sneaks around and finds a lover she would be commiting adultery with herself. That is if she doesn’t get caught. (’

“I was thinking about it a little but then someone told me to ‘go and [blank] myself’ and I had an epiphany,” she did not continue to say.

She will get her thrills from powered by batteries instead of relying on the little blue pills for the male.

Who are we to judge? Of course the divorce could get a bit dicey.

What is worse? The fact she married herself, or that 50 of her “friends” didn’t tell her she was batshit crazy and they weren’t going to attend such a farce.
