.....Thought you self-love fans might get a kick out of this.
By Rob Brezsny:
"But why stop there? I propose an even further evolution of the definition of legal marriage: getting married to yourself.
Because let's just admit that none of us is ever likely to find our perfect partner until we master the art of loving ourselves with great ingenuity. A self-wedding ritual can be the transformative magic that induces the arrival of a challenging new consort into our lives, or else brings the renaissance of an existing intimate relationship.
Now just because getting married to yourself is not yet legal doesn't mean we can't enjoy some of its benefits. And so I propose that we take matters into our own hands. Let's start creating and carrying out our own guerrilla ceremonies.
Your ritual of getting married to yourself could include the following vow: "I am no longer looking for the perfect person. I am that perfect person."Maybe you could also unleash a flurry of praise about your own beauty and intelligence. "I am so profoundly in tune with my own destiny," you could say to yourself, "that I can be myself even when I am beside myself."
Or how about the following affirmation? "It is within my amazing power to solve every mystery, but I choose to let a few remain enigmas so that I may continue to be amused and surprised by life."
At some point in your self-wedding ritual, you could hold your own hand as you gaze into a mirror and repeat these solemn vows: "I will never forsake you. I will always treat you with reverence and respect. I will do with you what the spring does to the cherry trees."
At the climactic moment, you might place a gold band on your finger and murmur, "With this ring I do me wed," or perhaps, "I now pronounce me my own husband and my own wife." Whereupon you would kiss yourself on your own lips.
Whether or not you use any of these suggestions, I'd love to hear how you create and perform your very own ritual of self-wedding. Write to me zenpride@freewillastrology.com and let me know. I'll publish the best here on the Web site."
.......BTW, guys, I don't know if that email addy still works because I've had this doc for a long time. Shar

Oh, I love this. Can't tell if it's serious or tongue-in-cheek. 'With this ring I me wed'
Doesn't mention the gift registry, I'd have to work that in somehow.
I must admit, I've considered sending myself a loving valentine's day card. I already buy myself heart-shaped boxes of candy.
