An Italian woman has married herself in a ceremony complete with white dress, three‑layer wedding cake, bridesmaids and 70 guests.
Laura Mesi, a 40‑year‑old fitness trainer says she believes that each of us must first of all love ourselves.
She says you can have a fairytale even without the prince."
The ceremony carries no legal weight.
But Mesi is part of a growing trend for self‑marriage ‑ dubbed "sologamy" ‑ in countries around the world.
Laura says the idea of a solo wedding came to her two years ago, after a 12‑year relationship ended.
