British Woman Marries Herself

36-year old Grace Gelder, Britain marries herself after being fed up with dating scene and being single for six years.

Grace-a photographer by profession had built up a brilliant relationship with herself - and creating that bond with someone else seemed like too much hard work.  She 'proposed' to herself on a park bench and decided to say "I Do" to herself in a full wedding ceremony with 50 guests.

Reports said the Londoner was inspired by the Björk song Isobel, which includes the line, 'My name's Isobel, married to myself', which she said struck a chord with her and it was then she decided to walk solo down the aisle -- 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.

"A few did comment, in a light-hearted way, that it was a bit narcissistic," Gelder said.

"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," Gelder told the Guardian.

Although the wedding holds no legal ground, Grace is glad she is no longer a 'single' lady.
