October 22, 2010 Reuters carries this bizarre news story from Taiwan:
Chen Wei-yih has posed for a set of photos in a flowing white dress, enlisted a wedding planner and rented a banquet hall for a marriage celebration with 30 friends.
But there is no groom. Chen will marry herself.
She is apparently under considerable social pressure to get married (she is turning 30) but isn't pleased with her traditional marital choices. And you thought same-sex marriage was peculiar! But what makes this bizarre news story was the comment that a reader added:
I give it three months...
Is same-sex marriage legal there? ;-)
