TAIPEI - Chen Wei-yih has posed for a set of photos in a flowing white dress, enlisted a wedding planner and rented a banquet hall for a marriage celebration with 30 friends.
But there is no groom. Chen will marry herself.
Uninspired by the men she’s met but facing social pressure to get married, the 30-year-old Taipei office worker will hold the reception next month in honour of just one person.
“Age thirty is a prime period for me. My work and experience are in good shape, but I haven’t found a partner, so what can I do?” Chen said.
But, is this the way to go? If you can't find a partner, should you marry yourself, or just say you're single? Is it okay to do this? What do you think?
Is this legal in Taiwan? I guess it would not change anything, legally speaking, because if you were to get a divorce, there wouldn't be much argument about money,... Half of you would get half of the house and half of you would get the other?
ReplyDelete...very weird news fact indeed...
Is it even legal in Canada?
ReplyDeleteI have heard of royalty marrying their country, but to marry yourself. I've never thought about the fact that anyone could do it!
ReplyDeleteAbout the weird fact, ouch! They must be very strong to do that...
Love you're profile picture! I think people shouldn't have been presuring her I mean it's her choice and she is basically single after marrying herself right?

ReplyDeleteI think it's fine. Although I had never thought about it before. Sorry I had to delete the last one because my computer missed a few letters like "beore".
