This woman has only herself to blame if her latest marriage fails.
要是目前這樁婚事出現(xiàn)什么問題，這名新娘可怪不了別人。

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.
該女子現(xiàn)年42歲，來自西雅圖，是兩個孩子的母親。她通過合法途徑，將自己的名字從德西蕾·隆格巴改成了“美麗的存在”。10年前經(jīng)歷了痛苦的離婚后，如今的她來到巴黎埃菲爾鐵塔下，花了7000美元“嫁給自己”。

“After years of exploring different theories on how to understand myself, self-marriage felt right,” she told The Sun.”
她對《太陽報》表示，“多年來，我一直在探尋不同的途徑去認識自己，而嫁給自己已證明是個很好的歸宿。”

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.
“美麗的存在”稱，她一直夢想在巴黎舉辦婚禮，因此決定于去年6月——她的生日月——完婚。參加婚禮的除了一名攝影師，還有她的三位好友。

As her one-year anniversary with herself approaches, Existence is feeling happier than ever.
結(jié)婚一周年紀念馬上快到了，“美麗的存在”感到了從未有過的幸福。

“I don’t worry at all about being in a couple now,” she said, adding that both her sons fully support her.
她說：“現(xiàn)在我再也不用擔(dān)心夫妻關(guān)系了。”她的兩個兒子也全力支持她。

For now, self-marriages are not legally recognized, but she thinks that will change in the near future.
目前，“嫁給自己”尚未獲法律認可，但她認為這種狀況在不遠的將來會改變的。

“There are a lot of people, women especially, who are not subscribing to the regular definition of marriage anymore,” she said.
她說：“很多人，尤其女性，已不再認同傳統(tǒng)的婚姻定義。”
