A Dutch artist is to marry herself to show people how much she loves the different sides of her character.

Jennifer Hoes, 29, has ordered a complete wedding party, wedding dress and marriage certificate.

She told Haarlem's Dagblad newspaper: "I want to celebrate with others how much I'm in love with myself."

She says she regards the wedding as a reward for her years of struggle between the emotional and business sides of her character.

Ms Hoes said: "Finally I managed to unite these conflicting parts of my character, and I find it most logical that it results in a wedding."

An alderman of the city of Haarlem has agreed to act as registrar, although the wedding will not be registered officially in the books.

Ms Hoes said she doesn't rule out a more conventional wedding at some stage in the future.

"But I will never divorce myself. I don¹t want to become emotionally dependent from another for not being in balance with myself. This marriage is really for better or for worse," she added.

Let's not ask what the honeymoon will involve.

Regards, Ivan

Bump!

[Billthedrill]

She should have thought this thing through. When the inevitable divorce comes, who gets the kids?

[Desdemona]

What's in the bogs up there? Those people are getting whackier and whackier.

What will she do the next time someone tells her to go fu** herself?
Will she be able to?
Will she say "Roger that?"

This pig makes me ashamed to be Korean.

Fifty years ago, Sid Caesar's "Show of Shows" featured a singing group called The Haircuts, a long-haired group of pop singers who were at least ten years ahead of their time.

One of their songs, probably by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, was about marrying oneself. The best line in the song was about how it was alright because you'd be marrying someone of the same religion.

Oh for God's sake...are all "artists" just completely f*cked in the head, or what?

[Alouette]

Well, at least somebody wants her.

[coloradan]

Oh for God's sake, if it isn't f*cked in the head, it isn't art.

[tamikamaria]

Too bad she's not British. She would probably win the Turner Prize.

Jennifer Hoes, 29,...

If things don't work out for her as an artist, and with that surname, she certainly could find work in another, er, "profession."

[coloradan]

"I've been seeing someone else."

"You Bitch! Well, so have I!"

[Tijeras_Slim]

She's registered at Bride's Mart for D-cells.

[Kenton]

Oh, ok, I get it. She's an "artist". This is "art".

[IowaHawk]

Talk about "marrying down."

[exmarine]

hahaha. I hope she and herself can get along! Moron! Holland has turned into an anti-society and anti-culture and is among the most corrupt on earth. It rivals the ancient Canaanites in its relativistic depravity!

[Skooz]

I would love to be the lawyer who drew up the pre-nup.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

One assumes there won't be any problem with consummation of the union.

Oh for God's sake...are all "artists" just completely f*cked in the head, or what?

More likely, the ones that are f*cked in the head like to call themselves "artists". What kind of "art" does this person create?
