In the United States, several people have started marrying themselves as part of a self-empowerment movement that began in the early 2000s. They often hold wedding ceremonies, receptions, and even take themselves on honeymoons.

This is a human experience and it would be wrong (not to mention amoral, bigoted, and against my personal code) of me to gatekeep language and terminology (hermenutical/epistemic injustice), especially that which revolves around sexgender and experiences of sexgender variant people.

Even if we disagree, slightly or absolutely, on some or all things, I still want you to have language that describes your experiences. You don't need to recoin it (or the microlabels), it's here for all to use. I block freely, but even if you're blocked by me (or vice versa), you can still use/ID with this label (or any of its microlabels).

Feel free to spread the word &/or post it on other sites/archives/etc.

I'll block people who are expressly bigoted on this post, or who attempt to start discourse/drama/arguments on it.

My self-marriage ritual was so romantic. 💘 I made sure I read my vows while playing “Dream Lover” by Bobby Darin. 😻 I am so grateful to Venus and Astaroth for making this ritual so lovely. 🕯️💖

Sologamy

Narcissism

Sologamy is marriage by a person to oneself. Supporters of the practice argue that it affirms one's own value and leads to a happier life.

Life in such a world has become increasingly strange. Permanent coexistence with people who are far apart. With whom lost under the banner of individual identity while they try to find it by raise. People who became selfish and drowned in narcissism. Ultimately, mental disorders cause their indifference to the world around them. In the meantime, women get married without waiting for the famous prince, and they stay forever bride, not a spouse. “Sologamy” is a word that chosen for this series according to this statement.
