    Watching the news and apparently self-marriages are growing in popularity. These people actually have ceremonies where they make vows to themselves.

    If you had a friend invite you to a ceremony like this, would you attend?

    If there's a party with booze afterwards then yes. If it's one of those 'church' type receptions, Eff NO.

    No but you could save 15% by switching to Geico
    Wouldn't matter. If the person dies, their SO gets no benefits. :D

    I just can't help imagining Mark Ch. 10 on its head:

    "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to [himself], and the [one] shall [remain] one flesh. Therefore what God has [not] joined together, [any] human being [may] separate."

    Marriage is a ridiculous concept to me.

    I've been dating myself for quite a while and I can honestly say I'd tap that. I don't know about the whole commitment thing though...

    Made my day, too, and made me think of this, from Tom Waits' album Nighthawks At The Diner...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94h3JEC9db0

    "For all the bachelors out there tonight
    Yeah, for anybody who's never whistled this song
    Or maybe you whistled it but you lost the sheet music

    Um...this is um...well actually
    I don't mind going to weddings or anything
    As long as it's not my own, I show up

    But I've always kinda been partial to calling myself up on the phone and asking myself out, you know?
    Oh yeah, you call yourself up too huh?
    Yeah, well one thing about it, your always around.
    Yeah I know, yeah you ask yourself out, you know, some class joint somewhere.
    The Burrito King or something, you know. Well, I ain't cheap, you know.

    Take yourself out for a couple of drinks maybe.
    Then you'd be some provocative conversation on the way home.
    And park in front of the house, you know.
    Oh yeah, you smoothly put a little nice music on
    Maybe you put on like uh, you know, like shopping music
    Something that's not too interruptive, you know.

    And then uh slide over real nice and say,
    "Oh I think you have something in your eye."
    Well maybe it's not that romantic with you but Christ I don't know, you know
    I get into it you know.
    Take myself up to the porch, take myself inside or maybe uh
    Or may get a little something in a brandy snifter or something.

    "Would like you like to listen to some of my back records? I got something here"
    Well usually about 2.30 in the morning you've ended up taking advantage of yourself.
    There ain't no way around that you know.
    Yeah, making a scene with a magazine, there ain't no way around.
    I'll confess you know, I'm no different, you know.
    I'm not weird about it or anything, I don't tie myself up first.
    I just kinda spend a little time with myself.

    So this is kind of a little anthem here...

    All my friends are married
    Every Tom and Dick and Harry
    You must be strong
    If you're to go it alone
    Here's to the bachelors
    And the Bowery bums
    And those who feel that they're the ones
    Who are better off without a wife
    I like to sleep until the crack of noon
    Midnight howlin' at the moon
    Goin' out when I want to, comin' home when I please
    I don't have to ask permission
    If I want to go out fishing
    And I never have to ask for the keys
    Never been no Valentino
    Had a girl who lived in Reno
    Left me for a trumpet player
    Didn't get me down
    He was wanted for assault
    Though he said it weren't his fault
    Well the coppers rode him right
    Out of town
    (chorus) selfish about my privacy
    As long as I can be with me
    We get along so well I can't believe
    I love to chew the fat with folks
    And listen to all your dirty jokes
    I'm so thankful for these friends
    I do receive
    (chorus)"

    You're thinking too hard.

    I simply took a quintessential reading from a Christian wedding ceremony and manipulated it into a justification for this ridiculous idea of marrying one's self.

    Though in my opinion . . .

    Oh and if you meet a someone and have sex, are you cheating on yourself and would that be a reason to file for a divorce?

    Anyone who follows through on this self-marriage idea deserves to have half their possessions taken from them.

    Can I ask you out on a date while you're dating yourself? Is that cheating on yourself?

    @Cerealsensei I won't tell my other persona if you don't. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. The psych ward only allows visitors from 2:00 - 4:00 on Tuesdays. Will that work for you?

    Nothing to see there, and move along.

    It is a political statement and not anything serious, so no. I would not attend.

    it completely hinges on the answer to "will there be an open bar?"
