Self-marriage

Self-marriage

Self-marriage is when a person marries themselves. [http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080604/COL03/806040303/1081] It is related to the concept of self-completion. [ [http://www.geocities.com/athens/acropolis/8392/selfmarriage.html Self-Marriage ] ] The idea of such a ceremony is described in the book "Quirkyalone: a manifesto for uncompromising romantics" by Sasha Cagen.

In popular culture

In Chris Morris's television series "Jam" a middle-aged man marries himself, in an example of what The Guardian calls a "low-key observation of the humdrum horror of living".
