Love yourself enough to get married - to yourself?
More and more people are getting married - to themselves!
According to the dictionary "Sologamy is marriage by a person to oneself."
"Supporters of the practice argue that it affirms one's own value and leads to a happier life. An alternative term is self-marriage, but this may also refer to a self-uniting marriage, that is a marriage without an officiant."
But what does this even mean? And is it legal? Well, no, it's not recognized and there are no benefits, other than self-love! So then why?
We can blame, or thank, Sex and The City for introducing us to this trend back in 2003 when Carrie declared she was marrying herself! In recent years, the trend has become more popular with more and more women having "weddings" to cement their decision to live alone.

With some people calling the movement narcissistic, I can't help but be inwardly proud of these women, and some men, for owning who they are without apology and being brave enough to take this step to tell the world they are enough!
What do you think? Would you marry yourself?
