Self-love: Youth hosts 'grand wedding' to marry self, takes vows not to wait for 'love of his life'; watch

Before you love anyone or expect love from others, it is essential to love yourself. Undeniably, self-love is crucial before loving others while accepting as you are. Practicing self-care, and self-compassion while embracing your strengths and weaknesses is a part of self-love. Self-love helps to build confidence, and self-esteem while understanding your worth and letting go of self-criticism.

However, there are some people who extremely love self that they marry themselves. 

In 2022, Kshama Bindu, a 24-year-old blogger from Gujarat, India, hogged the headlines as she became the first person in India to practice sologamy or self-marriage. However, 90 days later, she divorced herself after she fell in love with someone else. Now, a video of another youth surfaced on social media in which he is seen hosting a grand wedding and taking vows not to wait for the 'love of his life'. Instead, he will become one for himself.

As seen in the video, the youth narrates how he kickstarted the event.

Showing some customised wedding cards, looking like passports, he narrates, "First we got some custom-made wedding cards and we portered it to all my followers in the city."

Several delivery guys in uniforms can be seen receiving the invitation cards for distribution. 

Next, the video gives a glimpse into the Haldi Ceremony. He continues, "Are you ready? Welcome to Haldi. This was for my close ones only. Most of my friends flew down from different cities to attend this. And it began. So fun."

People can be seen enjoying the Haldi event with high excitement. Anish is seen wearing a yellow kurta and a white pyjama, surrounded by his friends. They can be seen applying turmeric paste on Anish.

After Haldi, it was the engagement ceremony. 

Anish continues, "My friends organised this. I promised to be always enough for myself."

Next, Anish cuts the cake with his friends cheering him up. He fishes out a ring from a box filled with rose petals and a liquid substance. He puts on the ring on his finger of the other hand.

Anish continues, "I'm finally engaged, time for the main wedding."

Next, he shows his Baraat and the baraatis. Anish can be seen riding a scooter with a placard reading, "Budget nahi hai." Not just Anish, the baraatis can be seen quite excited. All his followers turned up and participated as baraatis. They can be seen dancing their hearts out. 

Anish describes, "The night was like a rager. DJ, food and my people." He also gives a glimpse of the wedding mandap, dining space, dance floor, etc. 

"It's finally time to walk this journey of self-love," says Anish while walking towards the mandap.

While taking the 'pheras,' Anish reads out the vows loudly. 

"I will uninstall all the dating apps. Will not wait for the love of my life. But, I'll be that for myself," said Anish.
