Grace Gelder was so fed up with the dating scene and single
life that she decided to become the first person in Britain to
marry HERSELF.

Grace decided to commit to the most important person in her
life, 'proposed' to herself last November on a park bench and
staged a full wedding ceremony with 50 guests. According to
her, after being
single for six years she had built up a brilliant relationship with
herself - and creating that bond with someone else seemed like
too much hard work.
Inspired by the Björk song Isobel, which includes the line, 'My
name's Isobel, married to myself', the Londoner said the lyric
struck a chord with her and it was then she decided to walk
solo down the aisle.
Grace bought a dress, a ring, rehearsed vows and eventually
wed in a farmhouse in rural Devon watched by her sister and
friends -sealing the deal by planting a kiss on a mirror.
Speaking to the Guardian, she said:
"A few did comment, in a light-hearted way, that it was a
bit narcissitic. Obviously, if you have 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. I’d been on a journey of personal
development using meditation, dance and performance to
increase my self-awareness. Included in this was a Shakti
Tantra programme focused on sexuality and how this was
bound up with making agreements with yourself and other
people.
Sitting on that park bench, it dawned on me that a self-
marriage ceremony witnessed by other people would
potentially be this massively powerful means of making
those agreements stick."
Grace was wed by her friend Tiu - a celebrant - who backed her
plans and said the deal would set her up for a new phase of
life. But Grace suffered a case of the pre-wedding jitters only a
month before the big day and had to be convinced she was
doing the right thing.
Although the wedding holds no legal ground, Grace is glad she
is no longer a 'single' lady.
She added:
"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 really don’t see it as any kind of feminist
statement, but creating a wedding of this kind on my own
terms felt incredibly empowering."

if this is true....then she is living in self deceit

So she can legally M*sturbate....wonderful

Wow! People are crazy

weird

Crazy world

Someone should help us check record.... She must b one of the recently released psychos

Eleyi gidi gan- this is serious.

nna nothing we no go see for this world o....

Why wait six years to get married? Simply rent a groom and pay him off after the ceremony.

I wish "her" and "herself" a happy married life.

This one is out of order! Sick!

haba!

Bha do ghe o!

Not China this time sha.

Our elders will say ''they've seen things because they've lived for a long time''. But in just a very short time, I've seen things they've never imagined/thought of seeing.

This one is serious. The other day, one idiat got married to the image of her crush. Now, another idiat is getting married to herself. Terrible!

Good for her. As long as she is happy, that's all that really matters. Most people always worry why someone would want to be different and not fall in like other "normal" people in the society, but the truth is not everyone wants to live a regular life. Even though I find her "marriage-to-self" move odd, I respect her for being bold enough to go through with it.

Fine woman go just mad like this!

Last time, someone married cardboard Robert Pattinson and now this, Madness at its highest peak

Wish her api married life.

Happy married life,grace

Oyinbos nd dere madness

I guess she is a Glee/Sue Sylvester fan.......Her problem tho

I sense MPD issues

Unthinkable things happening everyday

This is very sad
