If you thought ‘self love’ is just a concept, then let us tell you the story of this woman who got hitched to her own self.
A breakthrough-coach and influencer, Linda, married herself, on Valentine’s Day last year, taking self love from being just a notion to an actual practice. The ceremony was marked by a beach ceremony.
Following a break-up, Linda decided to give all her love to the person she cared most about – her own self. She heard about the concept of marrying one’s self from her pal Ej, to ’embark upon a journey of healing and reaffirmation’, rather than downloading Tinder while binge-eating another Nutella jar squeaky clean.

Linda explained the concept of self love, saying:
“I believe that the most important relationship I will ever have is with myself. I know and understand that the quality of the relationship we have with ourselves determines the quality of experiences we have with others.”

Unlike the unconventional concept of a marriage, of course it’s not like she’s not gonna see other people. But yeah, it’s about prioritising one’s self over and above others.
