Sologamy Service

I had a profound experience, I got married.

No one else came to this wedding. I was alone and only with my thoughts. There was no officiant, or guests or attendees standing up with me. Only me.

It was in a beautiful crystal chapel in my mind. My inner soul was free and released on an ayahuasca journey. I was excepting myself with all of my flaws and strengths and I embraced them. It was what made me who I am. That was 4 years ago and i haven't wanted to get divorced.

I am writing this from the jungles of Colombia. I shared my story to a few people here and met some that have likewise embraced the process themselves. It encouraged me to share this experience and to create a ceremony that others could follow.

Sologomay, or self-marriage, is a symbolic ceremony where you commit to maintaining a meaningful, deep, and loving relationship with yourself. You don't have to be single, and you don't need to make it public if you choose not to, After all, this is your journey through life and it is your choice to love who you want. It isn't egocentric or approval-seeking because self-care is not selfish. I invite you to consider the following vows and if they ring true to your heart, consider them and create your own celebration of the acceptance of your true self.

Accepting yourself allows you to be present to yourself, and when you are present with yourself, you can be present with others.

Sologamy Vows:

"Today, I stand before myself and the universe, embracing the incredible journey of self-love and self-discovery. In acknowledging my worth, my flaws, and my strengths, I vow to cherish, respect, and honour myself in every moment of this lifetime.

I promise to celebrate my triumphs and learn from my failures, understanding that every experience is a stepping stone toward becoming the best version of myself. I pledge to nurture my mind, body, and spirit, honouring my passions and dreams as sacred expressions of my truest self.

I vow to practice patience and kindness toward myself, embracing self-compassion in times of struggle and self-appreciation in times of success. I will stand by my side, providing unwavering support and unconditional love, embracing the beauty of my own existence.

I promise to protect my boundaries, to trust my instincts, and to listen to the whispers of my heart. I will cultivate my own happiness and create a life that fulfills me, knowing that my joy radiates outward and touches the lives of others.

Today, I marry myself, promising to be my own rock, my own muse, and my own greatest love. With this ring, I seal this commitment to myself, a reminder of the infinite love that resides within me. I am complete. I am enough. I am loved. And so, with profound gratitude for the gift of self, I embark on this journey of self-marriage, embracing my own essence with open arms and an open hearts. - The Church of Unreasonable Happiness
