Sologamy... Is There a Purpose?

If anyone knew someone having a Sologamy, would you attend?

I guess I might if I really felt sorry for them and their ego needed a perk-me-up.

If they already had a monstrous ego, no way.
 
I can see some appeal to it. If a person has spent years thinking of what she'd like to do for her wedding etc and then no groom ever shows up, a sologamy ceremony would help avoid feeling sadness about never getting a wedding. Then there would be all the fun also of having the bachelorette party and even a pre-wedding trip with friends to a resort. Presents probably not needed or desired though, a honeymoon alone just seems too sad.

It does sound like something the Bridal industry would make up to generate more sales.
 
If I should ever attend a ceremony like this, I have only one question. Where's the bar? 😆

I dunno, she doesn't look like a very happy couple. 🤔 When she splits up, at least we know who gets the dog. 🐶

 
Boy I haven’t the first clue but I would guess it might be someone’s hope to be seen as making a deliberate, respectable choice to avoid marriage but not wanting to be defined as “unmarried”. Sort of - “happy to live alone and not looking”.

If so I doubt it will have the desired effect as it seems much less confident that simply “single and none of your business”. But I don’t care in the least. Doesn’t bother me one way or the other. Do what makes you happy.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Scene from award-winning 2020 documentary, Sologamy
Sologamy or autogamy is marriage by a person to themself. Supporters of the practice argue that it affirms one's own value[1] and leads to a happier life.[2][3] Critics argue that the practice is not legally binding unlike traditional marriage as well as rooted in narcissism and self-aggrandizement.[4]
An alternative term is self-marriage[5][6][7][unreliable source?] or self-cest (selfcest), but this may also refer to a self-uniting marriage, which is a marriage without an officiant.[8]

Sorry never heard the word, had to look it up!

The Brides article was from a few years ago... I just happened to read it in an old issue recently. The more I'm researching it today, I see that all kinds of news outlets are talking about it now... not sure what sparked the new interest... maybe an attempt for a market as you said.
