Diogo Rabelo, a 33-year-old doctor, married himself in a sologomous ceremony at a luxurious resort in Itacare, in the north-eastern state of Bahia, Brazil on October 17. The decision to marry himself followed after his fiance broke up with him over a series of arguments over the summer.

The couple was meant to get married in September but broke up in July. Instead of calling off the whole thing, Rabelo decided to got through with the big day and marry himself. The wedding cost him around 350,000 BRL (R977 989) and 40 of the people who were initially invited attended. Not surprisingly, the ex’s friends and family did not show up.

O lado bom de casar consigo é que não existem protocolos! Você tem a liberdade de se divertir da maneira que quiser, e estou errado? Teve buquê de flores SIM! Eu queria tanto um buquê de flores mas eu estava tão corrido que não tinha ideia de onde iria arranjar um, e do NADA, @lulilacerda me envia o (segundo) buquê mais lindo da vida (pois o primeiro foi do meu noivado)! Sorte e benção para quem pegou o buquê! Desejo, no mínimo, que você case consigo (e depois com quem quiser), meu melhor amigo @thales.dias #DiogoCASA #eucaseicomigo #casamentosologamico #sologamy

The reason behind tying the knot on his own was that he wants to send a message to people that you do not need to depend on a marriage to be happy.

Rabelo explains: “Today is one of the happiest days of my life, as I’m with the people I love the most in this life, celebrating what could be a tragedy, but I made it a comedy.”

“I do want to marry someone else, and I want to have children, but my happiness cannot depend on that,” he added.

A British couple now shares a rather unusual surname. After tying the knot in a pre-second lockdown wedding, the pair now go by Mr and Mrs White-Christmas.

Tilly Christmas and Kieran White met as children and got married on Tuesday [November 3] at the Roman Baths in Bath, just before England began its second lockdown.

Talk about an out-of-this-world proposal! This couple got engaged while on a ZERO-G space simulation flight.

Xavier Andrews popped the question to his girlfriend Shanté Cosme aboard the ZERO-G in a modified Boeing 727-200, a commercial way to experience what it’s like to be in space without actually going there.

Speaking to Brides, Andres explained that he wanted to do something special for the proposal.

“We’re an adventurous couple,” he said. “We’ve been to 12 countries together and have done everything from exploring the caves of Railay Beach, Thailand to snowmobiling the Vatnajökull glaciers of Iceland—so it felt right.”

The incredible images, captured by photographer Steve Boxall, shows the couple floating as if on Cloud 9 as the proposal takes place.

Cosme was suspicious of her partner and had already sussed out that a proposal was near.

“When we got to the Blade lounge in NYC and I realized we’d be taking a helicopter to the airport, I thought, ‘This would be a really cool way to propose,’” she told Brides. “People kept pulling him aside and he assured me he was just handling the bill, but I knew something was up.”

While enjoying the experience, Andrews pulled out the ring, which was fastened to him by string to keep it from floating away.

Leave to @x_andrews to propose to me … in space. After 5 years of adventures, I shouldn’t have been surprised but, clearly, I was. Thank you for always keeping me on my toes. Thank you for always finding new ways to make me smile. The answer has always been YES.

Cosme immediately burst into tears at the sight of the ring and accepted the proposal before Andrews even officially asked.
