An Italian woman, Laura Mesi, has made headlines after marrying herself in a symbolic celebration of independence and self-love. The unusual ceremony, attended by about 70 guests, featured all the traditional trappings of a wedding including bridesmaids, a wedding cake, and vows but without a partner.
Mesi explained that her decision stemmed from a realization that her happiness does not depend on being in a relationship. The act, known as sologamy, is part of a growing global trend where individuals commit to themselves, embracing personal freedom and self-empowerment.
While not legally recognized, self-marriage is becoming more popular as people redefine the meaning of love and commitment in modern society.
