So the other day a status popped up on my Facebook timeline and when I saw it I knew I had a strong opinion on it. I read 'Woman marries herself' and initially I thought 'this is part of the problem, some people are so fixated on the wedding ceremony rather than the actual focus of getting married and what that means' ends Nadie on her high horse!!! But then I read the article and it appeared to be a self-love affair, 'the bride' promising to love and honour herself, something that should be applauded I guess. And with 1 in every 2 African-American women expected to be single to kingdom come can you blame her for having her very own wedding ...although the bridesmaids and being given away may be a little too much (trying to be shade free).
Thoughts - are you single and believe you may never marry?Are you in a long term committed relationship but still would like to be a 'wife'? Would you 'marry yourself' and with so many women not expressing self-love, is a self-love declaration actually a good thing? You tell me.
Oh yeah you can check out photos of the wedding here http://www.weddingdigestnaija.com/black-woman-marries-herself-cause-she-couldnt-find-a-husband-by-the-time-she-turned-40/
