Ohio woman, 77, marries herself in ‘second chance’ at love

She’s taking self-love to a whole new level.

An elderly Ohio woman recently married herself in a touching ceremony dedicated to what matters most.

Dorothy “Dottie” Fedeli, 77, wore a white dress and veil and decorated her walker for the Saturday event, WLWT5 reported. 

Fedeli, who lives at O’Bannon Terrace Retirement Home in Goshen, told the outlet that she got the idea from a neighbor who saw a woman do something similar on television.

The mother of three explained that she was previously married in a courthouse ceremony in 1965, but the union did not last.

“Because this is something I’ve always wanted. I wanted to get married and have a happy life but things didn’t work out that way and now I have a second chance in doing something that’ll make me happy,” Fedeli said of her self-union.

“Love, love is the most important thing in this world, and if you love God and love yourself, this world will be a field of roses.”

Fedeli was also grateful to celebrate the occasion with her fellow retirement home residents.

“If [marriage] not in the cards for them, then there’s something out there that will make them happy and find themselves in life and fulfill their soul,” she advised.
