A woman decided she would marry herself in her dream wedding after being dumped three months before the big day.

Laëtitia Nguyen, from France, had been with her fiancé for three years and the pair had spent a lot of time planning their $40,000 (£22,000) wedding.

However, the 38-year-old was left heartbroken when her fiancé left her just three months before the ceremony was due to take place on the picturesque island of Santorini on 27 May 2017.

That didn’t stop Laëtitia from going through with the ceremony that she’d spent so long planning and so she walked down the aisle to marry herself.

“I am amazing, and I know it,” she said.

The wedding was attended by eight people, and Laetitia kept a lot of the details the same as what she had planned with her then-fiancé.

She has since frozen her eggs in the hope she will one day have children.

The pair were very equal minded about how they wanted the ceremony to play out, however just months before they were going to tie the knot, her fiancé became distant, before eventually walking out in February.

Laëtitia’s wedding was the first solo wedding in Santorini. It was highly symbolic for Laëtitia, who wanted to affirm her self-worth and make a positive memory out of the day, rather than not having a ceremony at all.
