“Forget You, I’m marrying myself. I overcame a lot of trauma, and it inspired me to marry myself,” she said.

“I realised I wasn’t living for myself, and this wedding was a chance to start over," she added on the Dr Phil show on February 14.

Danni's parents were not amused

Danni's parents were not amused with her decision to marry herself.

There is no such thing as over-celebrating yourself - some people buy themselves a bag, others a cruise, I got myself a wedding," she said.

"My mum thought it was crazy, my dad walked away from me. Afterwards, they thought it was cool. My dad had to undergo the entire process to understand," she said.

Yahoo reports that while sologamy is catching on in some quarters, critics have maintained that it makes a mockery of the marriage covenant.
