Women Marrying Themselves Is A New Trend. It's Called "Sologamy"

I Recently came across this article on TheSun a online UK magazine that I found to be very interesting. Woman are now marrying themselves; there is even a website dedicated to women marrying themselves called 'imarriedme.com'.

This article was written by SARAH BARNS:

WITHOUT A HITCH Single woman, 39, is so fed up of trying to find ‘Mr Right’ that she is going to ‘marry’ HERSELF
Lynne Gollogly, 39, will be saying 'I do' to absolutely nobody after stating she has "no interest" in being a relationship.

A SINGLE woman is so fed up with trying to find ‘Mr Right’ that with her 40th birthday looming she is going to celebrate the event – by marrying herself.

Lynne Gollogly, 39, will be saying ‘I do’ to absolutely nobody after stating she has “no interest” in being a relationship and is “happy being me”.
Lynne, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, has even penned two hen dos before her bash in April and will also be travelling to Rome – where she will be enjoying her honeymoon alone.

She’s gone all out for her white wedding – as she’s already had make-up trials, purchased her dress and booked the ‘top secret’ venue.
Lynne said: “You know, I’ve had a lot of potentials in the past, but I’m not just going to settle for anyone just so I fit into today’s society.

I’ve been single for a while now and have no interest in being in a relationship.

“I did get engaged once, when I was younger, but it was silly and nothing came of it.

“I think with these things I’d never says never – but I’m not going to hang around for much longer.”
Lynne, who works as a business analyst, has had her mum Flo help her pick her dress out and her brother-in-law is also taking her to the venue.

She hopes to tie the knot – even though she cannot go through with this legally – with herself at a huge bash on 8 April 2017.

Lynne said she got the idea from an episode of the TV series Friends when Monica, Rachel and Phoebe all try on wedding dresses.

She said: “It’s always something I’ve wanted to do, and because ‘Mr. Right’ hasn’t turned up yet – I’m just going to go a head and get married without him.”

While there will be no legal ceremony, the “big event” will take place in the form of a wedding party complete with disco, buffet and guests having a “general knees up”.

Asked about the moment she bought her dress, Lynne said: “The staff at the Wed2B store were absolutely beside themselves when I told them I was actually planning to marry myself.

“My family and friends know full well that I’m bonkers though, so this hasn’t come as a shock to them.
“I thought this way I could give loved ones an opportunity to wear their wedding outfits and celebrate just being my quirky self.”

Her mum Flo Gollogly, 68, added: “Lynne has just not met the right man and she is proud to do things by herself – and I’m really looking forward to her party.”

Lynne will travel to Rome on her lonesome for her romantic ‘honeymoon’ in July – but only time will tell if she bags a companion in the Italian capital.

But Lynne isn’t the first woman to say ‘I do’ to herself. To Watch Video interview with Lynne click link below:

ABC Reported that Erika Anderson, 36, had the dress, the ring, even vows for a special ceremony she had to make a formal commitment to herself.
