webfact Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Grace Gelder single for six years marries herself in Devon, EnglandSYDNEY: -- A WOMAN, who had been single for six years, said she formed such a brilliant relationship with herself that she decided to marry herself.Grace Gelder, a photographer in London, said that she proposed to herself on a park bench on Parliament Hill.“A few did comment, in a lighthearted way, that it was a bit narcissistic,” Gelder told The Guardian.“Obviously, if you’ve just announced you’re marrying yourself, it is plainly a statement of self-love, and I was under no illusion how self-indulgent that might appear. But I was completely comfortable with my motivations.”Gelder, who was married by her friend and celebrant Tiu de Haan, said she was inspired by a the song isobel by Björk and had been “on a journey of personal development using meditation, dance and performance” to increase her “self-awareness,” especially a Shakti Tantra program “focused on sexuality and how this was bound up with making agreements with yourself and other people.”She bought a dress, a ring, rehearsed vows and married in a farmhouse in Devon in front of 50 friends and her sister. She sealed the marriage by planting a kiss on a mirror.“It felt like a really big deal saying my vows, which were mostly about me promising to take more risks in matters of the heart. I remember really paying attention to the words as they left my mouth and it felt like they were hanging in the air.Full story: http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/grace-gelder-single-for-six-years-marries-herself-in-devon-england/story-fnet09y4-1227081389637-- News.com.au 2014-10-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 That's a brilliant idea. Why didn't I think of it before? Imagine the money I would have saved, instead of giving it to the wife. Imagine the space I could have on the bed. Imagine the free farting I could have without her giving me the evil eye. Imagine listening only to my moaning and not hers.

soalbundy Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 makes a change from same sex marriages or getting married to a dog. In Germany it is being discussed whether or not to make incest legal so maybe you can go to Berlin soon and marry your sister or Washington in 10 years and marry your Great Dane. Whatever, the world is just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
