Tired of waiting for the right groom, the woman finally married herself

 

 

A woman who was tired of waiting for a suitable partner finally made headlines by marrying herself. Italian woman and fitness trainer Laura Messi made headlines by marrying herself. Known as 'sologamy', the act is considered a symbol of prioritizing self-love and independence, contrary to social expectations about marriage. Pictures and videos of the ceremony, in which the woman arrived dressed as a bride, went viral online, and became a big topic of discussion among netizens.

Around 70 guests attended the ceremony. Laura claims that she made this decision because she felt that her own happiness and fulfillment should not depend on anyone else. The ceremony had many elements of traditional wedding ceremonies. The bride took a vow to grow herself, increase her self-esteem, and be committed to herself.

The social media reaction has been mixed. Many users have seen it as a bold act of self-confidence that breaks stereotypes. They have called it a "way to celebrate self-esteem" and a way to reject unnecessary social pressures. However, some have dismissed it as a publicity stunt. They have argued that it has no legal or practical value.

Since sologamy is not legally recognized in most countries, the practice has only emotional and social significance and no legal implications. Among these reactions, a humorous response has also gone viral. Netizens have pointed out that the woman can now win all arguments and disputes because she does not have a partner to disagree with.

This is not the first time that sologamy has made headlines. In 2022, a woman from Gujarat named Sassab Bindu married herself, which brought the issue back to the forefront in India. She performed a Hindu wedding ceremony, explaining that she had always wanted to be a bride and that it did not require her to become a wife. Similar ceremonies have been reported in countries such as Japan, the US and the UK. She married herself as a way of embracing personal freedom and rejecting traditional expectations.
