"You can have a fairytale even without the prince," say Italian bride Laura Mesi. To marry yourself, she says, you need a certain amount of money, the support of those around you, and - above all - "a pinch of madness".

She says she is the first "sologamist" in Italy, but solo weddings are on the rise worldwide.

Thanks, Lindsey and SELF magazine.

Sologamy—self-marriage—is becoming increasingly popular. And "S*x And The City's" Carrie Bradshaw isn't the only one doing it.

Why are so many living alone?

Although it is easy to assume that more people living alone means Canadians are lonely and unhappy, experts say that is not necessarily the case. They key difference between a happy and an unhappy single-person household, they say, is whether the independence is a choice.

Barbara Mitchell, a professor of sociology and gerontology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, said much of the trend toward living alone can be attributed to greater individualism and changing gender roles.

“A lot of women now have the economic means to afford to live on their own,” said Dr. Mitchell, adding that many senior women want to have a home to themselves after a lifetime of taking care of other people. “A lot of the research seems to suggest that living alone confers a lot of negatives in terms of health outcomes. But I think it is really dependent upon whether it is a choice or whether it is forced upon you.” "

Single is the new normal. Celebrate your solo status!

"Of the 14.1 million households in Canada in 2016, 28.2 per cent comprised only a single person — the highest proportion of single-person households ever recorded and the most common living arrangement captured in the 2016 count, a first for the country."

These days, even the fractured family dynamics of "Full House" feel dated.
