Photograph #5 of Eva Ostrowska's REAL LIFE Sologamist Wedding on July 16th, 2016, in Lourdes, South of France.

Eva Ostrowska, a 32 years-old French Sologamist woman, married herself in real life among the crowd, in front of the Lourdes grotto, in the South of France, on July 16th, 2016.

Ostrowska's sologamist wedding was conducted as a message of hope to people suffering from loneliness or heartbreak. She says, "To everyone who feels lonely and afraid to love, I want to spread a message of love. You don't need another half to complete you! You are not alone; we can be Alone Together."

Sologamy is the marriage of a person to themselves. Sologamist weddings have no official or legal standing but are symbolic ceremonies committing to valuing oneself.

In 2016 at the Lourdes grotto in the South of France, Ostrowska married herself in celebration of self-victory following her fiancé's infidelity. She then chose Valentine's Day 2022 as the appropriate time to renew her vows to herself. This time the wedding took place in the metaverse in recognition of Love 3.0, her expression for the dynamics of how the internet and electronic communication have changed the way that people express love, commit and build relationships.

Eva Ostrowska is the World's First Sologamist person to marry herself in Real Life and in the Metaverse.
