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."
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

Rosie O’Donnell married herself? I bet she can’t stand to hear herself talk...

Good thing she has twin beds..
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.
Gelder.
A name that should give any guy pause...
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.
A future divorce could get quite nasty..........
Oh so do I!!!
I think the English Beat wrote a song about this kind of narcissism

What ... did somebody tell her to go fsck herself ... but she didn’t want to commit fornication?
OK, there’s a honeymoon joke here that I am purposefully withholding - So next time I say something awful, remember this to my credit.
“In the last days men shall be lovers of themselves...”
Women too, apparently.

i could probably think of a few more.
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.
Hey, you!! How are you?
“Cray cray” makes me want to bang my head on the desk. Ugh.
