“Mirror, mirror on the wall – Who’s the fairest of them all?”
From “Snow White”
“Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired, women,
because they are curious: both are disappointed.”
Oscar Wilde, from, “The Picture of Dorian
Gray”
In India recently, a 24 year-old woman married herself. She put on a traditional red bridal dress, had her hair powdered and oiled, invited friends and family for music and dancing to celebrate. Then she walked seven times around a sacred fire to complete the ceremony.
“I will be dedicating my life to self love,” the new bride told the media. “Self-marriage is a commitment to being there for yourself… It’s my way of showing that I’m accepting of all the different parts of me, especially the parts of myself that I have tried to deny or disown, such as my weaknesses.”
After the wedding, the bride treated herself to a two week honeymoon in Goa.
I just hope the relationship is strong enough to survive some of the problems that can arise within a marriage. How would the bride react if her beloved marriage partner one day had an affair?
