What if I Told You, You Could Marry Yourself?

If you cannot find the right person, be the right person

It seems like some people are taking the above mentioned quote way too seriously. No, we’re not talking about optimists here, we are talking about sologamists. People are marrying themselves and it is called ‘Sologamy’- self marriage. It’s a relationship trend that is expanding and catching a lot of attention recently as people are tying the knot to themselves. This notion has also been exhibited in TV shows like Sex and the City where Carrie Bradshaw marries herself.

When you love yourself the most

How is it done?

Sologamy is basically a commitment to oneself. This can be done in various ways ranging from a private moment in a room to a complete fancy wedding with dress, cakes and vows taken in front of friends and family. However, in almost all of the cases, there is always a mirror.

With new ideas, business flows in. Yes, there is also a website namely, IMarriedMe.com, which offers Sologamy ceremony kits likes wedding band and daily affirmation cards and vows and so on. With the increasing exposure of this concept, it is becoming more understood and more accepted worldwide.

Will this idea ever break through the social and cultural norms of our society in Bangladesh?

Let’s wait and watch
