No word yet from the pro-gay marriage lobby about whether this makes a "mockery of marriage"...

...like there was with the lady who married a building.

Nadine Schweigert, North Dakota Woman, 'Marries Herself,' Opens Up About Self-Marriage.

Lower tax bracket... she can visit herself in the hospital...everyone involved consents... it's hard to see a downside here.

Perhaps it's time to put a bullet through the head of the brain dead, narcissistic wreck that is post-modern Western marriage.

Speaking of narcissism, note the bride/groom's explanation for her self-marriage:

Schweigert said the ceremony was a celebration of how far she'd come since her painful divorce six years ago that led to her two children to decide to live with her ex-husband.

"Six years ago I would've handled a problem by going out and drinking," she said. "I smoked, I was 50 pounds overweight ... this is just celebrating how far I've come in my life."

The Fargo-based yoga teacher also takes herself on dates to treat herself and "to invest in this relationship".

I'm totally sure that her self-absorption had nothing to do with her two children choosing to live with their father.

I'm not clear on this--was this person literally married to herself or is this meant figuratively?

I take it that she went through a simulated marriage ceremony to symbolically emphasize her love for herself.
