CNN: Women Marrying Themselves as ‘Symbolic Expression of Self-Love’
Breitbart ^ | 5/30/2023 | Katherine Hamilton

Posted on 05/30/2023 8:56:42 PM PDT by simpson96

CNN spoke with four women who “married themselves” — a self-marriage officially referred to as “sologamy.”

The left-leaning news outlet painted “sologamy” as pertaining more to mental health and “self-love.” rather than an extension of living an “auto-sexual” lifestyle — being sexually attracted to oneself — which has been addressed in other news articles on the topic.

“The concept of self-marriage, or sologamy, has been around for years…No data exists on how many people celebrate sologamy with ceremonies, but the practice has been explored in a handful of recent news articles,” CNN reported.

The women interviewed “described the act as a symbolic expression of self-love and an affirmation of a deep meaningful relationship with one’s self.”

“They also say it has nothing to do with swearing off future partnerships with a spouse, which they say is a popular misconception,” according to the report.

One of the women, body image coach Danni Adams, told the outlet she took several years to invest in herself, go to to therapy, and “break generational curses” and “process trauma” before she decided she was ready to marry herself.

After the pandemic she married herself in front of roughly 40 people. The event included nine bridesmaids at a cost of $4,000. A friend officiated the ceremony, and Adams read her vows in front of a full-length mirror, according to the report. Following her self-wedding, she honeymooned in Tulum, Mexico.

The two “I”s will learn so much from each other. Literally “self-fulfillment,” aka “full of self.”

A human selfie. Who could have seen this coming?

Perhaps ammend the writings on narcissistic personality disorder.

I’ll bet this has crossed the mind of some lawyer somewhere.

Isn’t there a law to keep lunatics off the streets.

No wonder China is buying so much land here for when they take over.

It should get ugly.

Will each woman who wants to divorce herself need to hire two lawyers?

I’m a female, but I can’t wrap my mind around this. It’s one thing to have a positive self image, but this is way over the top. They’re in Narcissist territory.
