A Taiwanese woman left uninspired by the standard of men on offer in her city will finally tie the knot — with herself, Shanghai Daily reported early Saturday.
Chen Wei-yih has bought a flowing white bridal grown, planned a lavish reception and even hired a wedding photographer to mark her unusual matrimony, which takes place next month
Lonely Chen, 30, told local media she was urged to wed by friends and loved ones but could not find a decent husband in Taipei, Taiwan’s largest city.
The solo marriage will not be recognized in law but Chen has the backing of her family.
“My work and experience are in good shape, but I haven’t found a partner, so what can I do?” she sighed.
“I’m not anti-marriage. I just hope that I can express a different idea within the bounds of a tradition.”
