Frenchman Antoine Cheval married himself after repeated romantic rejections, embracing “sologamy” to prioritize self-love. His symbolic ceremony, complete with vows and guests, challenges traditional views on marriage.
Sologamy is the act of marrying oneself as a gesture of self-commitment. Though not legally binding, it celebrates independence and rejects societal pressures to find happiness through relationships.
Others like Sophie Tanner and Laura Mesi have also embraced self-marriage, using it to reclaim self-worth and independence. These ceremonies promote empowerment and self-love.
Antoine’s decision highlights the power of self-acceptance, proving fulfillment doesn’t rely on a partner. Sologamy reminds us that true happiness begins within.
