要是目前这桩婚事出现什么问题，这名新娘可怪不了别人。

Beautiful Existence — a 42-year-old mother of two from Seattle who legally changed her name from Desiree Longabaugh — spent $7,000 to marry herself under the Eiffel Tower in Paris after going through a painful divorce 10 years ago. 

该女子现年42岁，来自西雅图，是两个孩子的母亲。她通过合法途径，将自己的名字从德西蕾·隆格巴改成了“美丽的存在”。10年前经历了痛苦的离婚后，如今的她来到巴黎埃菲尔铁塔下，花了7000美元“嫁给自己”。

美国单身母亲终于找到好归宿：嫁给自己

“After years of exploring different theories on how to understand myself, self-marriage felt right,” she told The Sun.” 

她对《太阳报》表示，“多年来，我一直在探寻不同的途径去认识自己，而嫁给自己已证明是个很好的归宿。”

Existence said she always dreamed of tying the knot in Paris and decided she would have a small ceremony there last June — right around her birthday — complete with a photographer and three of her closest friends. 

“美丽的存在”称，她一直梦想在巴黎举办婚礼，因此决定于去年6月——她的生日月——完婚。参加婚礼的除了一名摄影师，还有她的三位好友。

As her one-year anniversary with herself approaches, Existence is feeling happier than ever. 

结婚一周年纪念马上快到了，“美丽的存在”感到了从未有过的幸福。

“I don’t worry at all about being in a couple now,” she said, adding that both her sons fully support her. 

她说：“现在我再也不用担心夫妻关系了。”她的两个儿子也全力支持她。

For now, self-marriages are not legally recognized, but she thinks that will change in the near future. 

目前，“嫁给自己”尚未获法律认可，但她认为这种状况在不远的将来会改变的。

“There are a lot of people, women especially, who are not subscribing to the regular definition of marriage anymore,” she said. 

她说：“很多人，尤其女性，已不再认同传统的婚姻定义。”
