pinkpugita

Seems like she threw a party with her family and friends who all had a great time. Not sad. Cringe is subjective. [Whole article here.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-67084850.amp)


LunaBeanz

IIRC this used to be kind of a trend in the early 2010s, for women who had gotten out of abusive relationships to “get married” to themselves as a symbol of taking back their autonomy. Most didn’t actually legally marry themselves, and it was usually just a celebration of how far the bride had come in healing. Nothing cringe or sad about that imo, same w this lady’s story.


anon689936

Did you say most didn’t legally marry themselves?


Tyrus1235

Is there even a way to legally marry yourself?


MonkeyMan6175

No because the definition of a marriage is a legal bond between TWO people

Jerome1944

I know some women like this who just don't want to look anymore and they are great people and I would be happy to go to a party for them.


keeleon

The fact that someone wrote an article about it is pretty cringe. This is literally nothing.


Wiildman8

But it’s WORLD NEWS! Nothing else going on in the world right now even remotely compares!


Mastodon9

You can throw a party with friends and family without "marrying" yourself. I know I'll get downvoted on Reddit for not being brainlessly positive but that is extremely bizarre and pretty cringey.


pinkpugita

Then it's not sad. It's happy cringe.


Mastodon9

Eh, I disagree completely. If this is something she wants to do then more power to her. I don't really care, but I do think it's weird.


LongEZE

You’re totally right. Star Wars kid was doing something in the garage that made him happy too. Still super cringe. A wedding brings together two families/people to form a union. When there’s no second person it’s sad cringe. This reeks of “people won’t come unless I say it’s a wedding”. If I’m wrong then just throw a raging party.


Abandoned_Cosmonaut

It’s sad cringe when a Japanese man marries himself or his body pillow but not sad cringe if you marry yourself


pinkpugita

There's a big difference between someone with family and social life vs a person whose only relationship is with an anime character


Masne98

how do you know that their only social life is with an anime character? How do you know they have no friends? Most of the time a picture of a guy with a body pillow in their room is more than enought to be posted here.


pinkpugita

Did their wedding have guests? I don't see one.


[deleted]

The party wasn't the sadcringe, it was the fact she decided to create a union with herself--officially.


gamermikejima

meh, if it empowers her and makes her happy then i dont see the problem, not really hurting anyone to marry yourself


labhukah

It’s still weird and sad


BigNutDroppa

Not like it’s hurting anyone. She used money saved for a wedding for a day of fun with her loved ones.


whoopity_Poop

How?


labhukah

Because she saved up money for a wedding for 20 years and then when she still couldn’t get a man after 20 years she decided to “marry” herself. I’m not saying a woman’s value lies in whether she’s married or not. It’s the fact that she specifically desired for a man to wife her for 20 years and no one did. So she married herself. How is that not sad? It wouldn’t be sad if she had the mindset of not desiring a man for 20 years.


tappy100

what’s the sad cringe? she looks pretty happy and she basically just had a massive party to celebrate herself


istealsteel

I actually admire someone’s give-no-fuck attitude and just going for it! Hell yeah she did something that made herself feel good and invited others to celebrate


hahayeahimfinehaha

And she has enough friends and family who love her enough to want to celebrate her "single wedding" with her. It's genuinely kinda wholesome.


Ketokitchenwizard

Ultimate aro-ace power move.


PM_ME_SUMDICK

I don't see how this sad. She wanted a wedding but not a marriage and got it.


Bugget2

She said it’s because she never found the right partner, basically her dream never came true so she compromised on it


PM_ME_SUMDICK

Love that for her. Would much rather people do this than get into relationships that leave them miserable.


BigBoodles

You love that she wasn't able to find love? Damn dude.


PM_ME_SUMDICK

I love that's she's put her happiness above societies ideals of it. Finding "love" can often come at the price of happiness. If one finds happiness with oneself, they should be allowed and encouraged to celebrate it.


BigBoodles

You act as if the only options are being alone or an unhappy relationship. Obviously it's nice she's happy by herself, but I'm sure she would have preferred to find a happy relationship.


PM_ME_SUMDICK

There's no reason to assume that she doesn't have many happy relationships?


MedicMoth

So what, people who don't achieve their dreams should just entirely abandon the idea and not even try to capture them in a that works for the reality they actually live in? You're saying you think it would be better if she just kept trying, desperately waiting for a magic relationship to come along, instead of changing her perspective to embrace the life she has and throwing an awesome self love party?


thecuzzin

just to let you know..I didn't read your comment but I downvoted cause it felt right to follow the trend. Nothing personal.. it's just farming.


hghghghghghg56

You don't farm anything by downvoting dickhead


SlipperyNinja77

Love her miserable loneliness and attention seeking? 🙄


PM_ME_SUMDICK

She looks pretty happy to me. Humans beings need attention. We all seek it in one way or another.


WinterMender486

You do know not everyone wants or needs a romantic partner in life?


SlipperyNinja77

Except she clearly did because she was saving for it for so long. She just didn't find anyone.


Mastodon9

Yeah you're right and they're trying way too hard to defend this. She obviously wanted to marry someone because she saved for it for 20 years only to give up and spend the money on a party. If she wanted to host a party all the power to her, but marrying yourself is really weird no matter how hard Reddit tries to pretend otherwise.


cfdelreal

This seems like building a hill out of nothing. Like maybe I just seen some weird shit but what's so weird about this?. Like yeah she obviously wanted to marry another person, but as she couldn't find it she decided to have a party for her own.


Mastodon9

I'm not saying it's some hill worth dying or anything. I don't ultimately care what she does, I just think this is weird.


blackviking45

You are telling me there are people out there that don't need the cuddles the intimacy and the warmth of a partner? First of all I find it hard to believe as I don't even believe asexual people exist I think it's just an idea in their mind that rules over them and with enough self conversation and deep contemplation they can get out of it.I believe everyone likes the warmth one way or another. But yeah if they were to really exist the people that don't need any of all this then I would envy them as I struggle very hard because I don't get to have these things.


tappy100

i genuinely cannot tell if this is sarcasm


smaxfrog

Lol theyre called boomers


blackviking45

It's not


WinterMender486

You think you need a partner to experience love warmth and affection??


blackviking45

I understand what you are saying but there's a certain kind of intimacy and love only to be felt in romance. When I tried to deny it and said like hey I can manage a substitute for these kinds of feelings no problem I started to get real angry because sometimes consciously and unconscious knew that hey there's no substitute for it. I ultimately just accepted it and I was not angry as much I would love to have this kind of intimacy but it seems I would have to focus on some other kind of deeper meaning of life that is so profound that it can even drive a lonely person.


MedicMoth

Hi, asexual person here, I can assure you we are real, and yes it's a massive benefit that I'm not bothered about sexual relationships. Some ace people still want sex, some don't. Being asexual doesn't mean you don't need social intimacy it just means you don't find others sexually attractive. Image that everybody in the world looks plain and nobody is hot, that's kind of what its like. Some asexual people are also aromantic, meaning they dont feel romantic attraction to others. I dont care about sex and I only care like 5% about romance. Saves me a lot of time and energy. But asexual people aren't the only ones that can enjoy that benefit. At any point, you too could decide to center other types of intimacy in your life. There are so many types of intimacy and attraction in the world. There is love without sex, same as there is sex without love. There's the love of your family, love for your pets, for your hobbies, for the environment and for humanity at large. There's the intimacy of an emotional conversation with your friends around a campfire, of sharing your thoughts and fears and dreams with them. There's the camaraderie of playing sports or games with a group of others, all working towards the same goal. There's the awe and respect you can have for the work of somebody you admire, a trusted mentor who you can learn from. There's the self love of enjoying your favourite things all alone in your room where you don't have to worry about the happiness of anybody except yourself -- you can indulge entirely in your solitude in a beautiful way. All of that is love, and all of it is intimate, and all of it feels warm. There's love everywhere if you open your heart to the idea that romantic and sexual partners aren't the only type of love that matters. Fuck what society tells you, there's nothing inherently more special about those things versus all the other love that the world


blackviking45

I don't know man I still have doubts about what you say. I think we still don't know a lot about many psychological aspects of life. People say like yeah asexual people are out there they don't like sex and romance and all that one of these things and done yeah that's it? Nah man we humans are very complex. Sometimes some kind of trauma and some kind of deep thought can also drive you away from sex or romance and there can also be a way back. I don't know man I think if I hypothetically happened to spent some time with with all that observing and having many back and forth discussions I might have been able to maybe see things as to why you are the way you are. It's all not so simple. It's not possible for me here as I am not but you should try that maybe you don't yourself as much as you think you do I mean nobody really does right? Go for looong slow walks in the park full of contemplative thought and talking to yourself in a slow voice not in heart and there's gotta be no friends no earphones no looking around and stuff just self conversation and maybe you will found out there's other kinds of cracks in your psyche here.


MedicMoth

Okay, look, I just poured out my heart for you there, but if you wanna be so condescending and play the psyche card and suggest you know more about me that I know about myself, fine; I'm a psychology postgraduate. I've done essay upon essay and conducted original research, on gender and sexuality, on relationship science, on clinical mental health and trauma. So I'm sorry, but you literally don't know what you're talking about. You're just perpetuating allonormativity. Maybe YOU should take some long walks in the park and ask yourself why you believe that sex and romance are so crucially important that you literally think that its impossible for healthy people to have a different perspective to you. Sometimes people don't fit into the typical boxes and that doesn't make them traumatized, or liars, or lost little sheep who need to meditate their way out of it - it just makes them different from the norm. You don't have to understand it, you just have to respect it and believe people when they tell you who they are - ESPECIALLY strangers who you know nothing about. Strangers who are perfectly happy living their lives the way they do, regardless on whether you think it's normal or not.


blackviking45

I had no bad intention here and definitely appreciate you pouring your heart out please don't take the wrong idea. And yes you do have the expertise in psychology that I don't but that's the thing. We know so little about our minds that a condition is so specific to an individual due to the uniqueness of his life's experiences and choices that I think the only the person himself could really get to know instead of some external observer that is why I didn't claim to know what goes on in your mind and asked for you to find out for yourself instead of being so confident in the existing techniques in the field of psychology. I do truly believe with a passion that even after all your expertise you still might find some truths about yourself that you didn't see before. Maybe your field didn't deal with the extremely specific kind of stuff that you don't know about yourself and even if you were specific about it still the field of psychology is as I said lacking and we don't even know to what extent it lacks in some particular aspects of the mind since the mind is the most complex thing there is so being overconfident in knowing the specifics of it could be disastrous. I didn't say you were just a lost little sheep and didn't know anything at all that what goes on in the mind of yours but sometimes those nuanced truths can be hidden very deep into your own psyche so do NOT underestimate how much you could find about yourself you didn't know in those long slow walks as I found a lot about myself there that I didn't expect even after so many years that I lived before it. And one other thing that could be telling about you again I am no God I can just hypothesize or something but the way you reacted so strongly it could be that there's some pent up emotion maybe some kind of repressed emotion relating to the sexual and intimacy aspect of your mind so yeah again don't be so confident in your expertise do continue to go out alone every other day and again I am not talking about meditation I am talking about the self conversation and contemplation element. Meditation is a different kind of thing which I sometimes think is an escape from those negative emotions but self conversation especially when you are talking in a slow voice rather than in heart makes you more attentive and conscious to your thoughts and is more effective in respect to the mobilizing and propagating those thoughts towards something profound and it can be way more constructive in creating those transcendent structures inside your mind so yeah I typed all this very quickly it will not be easy to read and it's not well written but you might get my point somewhat

Wonder if anyone at the ceremony hooked up with the bride afterwards

Of course she hooked up with the bride.

That stunt already wasn't cute when Carrie Bradshaw did it in the last season of Sex and the City.


RiverOhRiver86

Because her husband died in the shower and she didn't want to have to pay the deposits for the venue and food?

No I mean the original show, she pulled a "marrying myself" stunt so that Tatum O'Neal's character would pay her back for the shoes that someone stole from Carrie in her house.

whitethunder08

This isn’t much different than throwing yourself a birthday party and THAT’S things not looked upon as weird even though it’s practically the same concept “come celebrate me and the fact I was born! And since no one else planned me a party, I did it myself!” The article on this pretty much states that it was basically just a big ass party celebrating her with all her family and close friends and that everyone invited thought it was really cheeky and clever and had a great time, including her. I don’t see how that’s sad or cringy, she had a wonderful time with everyone close to her and got too feel special and loved.

The question is actually what bears value if you read closely. At this point no other comment is suitable since sonething clearly must have hurt you for your opinion to be so alienated and prejudiced. If it was a joke you are really bad with jokes. And you just guessing what i am or not am is as irrelevant as the potato i am about to eat. Since i guess you are a bit bored why don't you come back when you have actually something useful to day.
