Forget same-sex marriage; now it's same-person marriage

Perhaps you think you've seen everything. Alas, no. Apparently the new trend
is people marrying ... themselves!
We wrote jokingly a few weeks ago that Canada was being narrow-minded for
limiting marriage to two people. Unfair to bigamists, doncha know. Also unfair,
it turns out, to those who really, really, really like themselves.
The local Palm Beach Post, in a lengthy article dominating the front of the
features section, gushes that one Jeannie Macaluso is marrying herself.
She has a wedding gown, bridesmaids, 50 guests, two showers and all the
trappings except a groom. The only other thing missing is her father; she's
tearful that he'll have nothing to do with her "wedding."
According to the Post, the stunt is mostly an excuse for the spinster "bride"
to furnish her new kitchen by scoring payback for all those wedding gifts she's
doled out over the years.
Well, at least there can't be a divorce. Or will some lawyer be able to
figure out that little glitch?
