[size=20pt]Taiwan woman 'marries' herself[/size]



– Sun Nov 7, 1:35 am ET

TAIPEI (AFP) – A Taiwanese woman said Sunday she had "married" herself by throwing a wedding banquet.

The 30-year-old Chen Wei-yi, who has been an Internet sensation since announcing her "wedding" plans last month, held the ceremony in a Taipei hotel Saturday witnessed by 30 relatives and friends.

"Marrying myself is a way of showing that I am confident and upbeat and that I accept myself for who I am," said Chen, who is an office worker.

"We must love ourselves before we can love others. I must marry myself before marrying the special someone," she told AFP.

Chen's supporters have hailed the move as "creative," with some suggesting a group wedding for those who wanted to "marry" themselves, according to her Facebook page.

Taiwanese authorities have said that many women now choose to marry at an older age or to stay single, which is seen as a major factor causing the island's birth rates to dwindle to one of the world's lowest.

A record low 117,000 Taiwanese couples tied the knot in 2009, down nearly a quarter on the previous year, according to government figures.

If women are now getting married 2 demselves among oda tings den wat d hell do we need d male species 4.

that's the begining of feeling rejected.

^^ i differ cos she said, she wants to show love to her self before the special one comes.

_______ man or men to the rescue.




what's that radar thing like spidey sense- the version where the men sense a woman in need of male company and zone in on the lady.

well, here's your cue.

I will be the next person to marry her. I'm going to Taiwan next month already, am gonna contact her.

The next news would be : A Nigerian young handsome guy marries a Taiwanese older lady.

Cos she can easily get adult stuff, so why not. end of the world
