Woman, 35, marries HERSELF after breaking up with her boyfriend

A 35-year-old has married herself in an intimate ceremony in front of family and friends, after breaking up with her long-term boyfriend. 

Life and business coach Meg Taylor Morrison, from Atlanta, Georgia, had always wanted to get married on Halloween 2020, but after she split from her partner just four months before that date, her dreams of tying the knot on All Hallow’s Eve were dashed.

The ceremony itself was attended by ten of Meg’s closest friends and family in an Airbnb in Boulder, Colorado, with all guests adhering to strict COVID-19 guidelines.

She walked down the aisle to a version of ‘Here Comes the Bride’ played on kazoos by her flower girls while her guests blew bubbles and drank champagne. Meg then read out vows she had written, accepted her own wedding ring, and kissed herself in the mirror.

After the ceremony, each of Meg’s friends and family fed her wedding cake, followed by dancing and ordering Thai food. 

For Meg, marrying herself has been an overwhelmingly positive experience reminding her to trust her own judgement and put her own health…
