Single woman attracted to herself has self-marriage ceremony

A witch who is “sexually and romantically attracted” to herself is preparing for a self-marriage ceremony involving sacrifices and vows on Halloween 2023 to “formally and spiritually recognise” her “unique relationship”. Ghia Vitale, 33, a senior editor at Quail Bell Magazine, first learned about sologamy – the practice of marrying yourself – in May 2017 and on the same day, she “quickly acted on that desire” and “mentally” asked herself to marry herself.

After some “hesitation”, she said yes to herself, and thinks becoming a sologamist will “validate and strengthen” her relationship with herself – Ghia identifies as autosexual and autoromantic, meaning she is sexually and romantically attracted to herself. The practising witch is now planning her wedding ceremony, which will not be legally binding but will involve a ritual where she will summon spiritual beings, give them sacrifices, bless a wedding necklace instead of a wedding ring, and pronounce herself as married by kissing a photo of herself.

She then plans on having a wedding cake and getting “a bunch of Taco Bell” with her friends to celebrate. Once Ghia gets married, she thinks it will last forever and does not see “divorce on (her) horizon”, but she is open to meeting other partners in the future – on top of being autosexual and autoromantic, Ghia is also polyamorous and has said her current partners “respect (her) relationship with (herself)”.
