A woman has married herself in an expensive wedding that cost $50,000. Bonnie Locket decided to forsake men and marry herself after experiencing repeated infidelity in romantic relationships, which left her depressed and nearly suicidal.
The Lavish Wedding
The model, who has operated a lucrative OnlyFans account for six years, purchased a $20,000 designer wedding dress and a $27,000 pear-shaped, three-carat yellow diamond ring. She married herself on Friday, May 30.
“I made the biggest commitment that anyone can make to myself,” Locket, 38, an England native now living in Ibiza, Spain, told The Post after her wedding. “It was one of the best days of my life.”
With only a handful of friends, a few handwritten vows, and her diamond ring which she slipped onto her own hand, Locket made herself a pledge of sologamy.
Past Relationship Trauma
Locket said marrying herself is a far cry from when she felt like a second-class citizen in her ill-fated marriage with her ex-husband.
“I was with my ex for 11 years, and we got married in 2023. We were married for only nine months before I found out he’d been cheating on me since the start of our relationship,” Locket told The Post.
She ended the marriage after learning the man had secretly been sleeping with her sworn enemy.
“It was a big shock. There was no coming back from that level of betrayal,” Locket lamented. “I had to cut and run. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.”
Locket then started dating another man who ultimately cheated on her as well.
“I thought about killing myself. I didn’t want to be on this planet anymore,” Locket confessed, crediting her epileptic dog with offering the mental and emotional support she needed to survive the consecutive heartbreaks.
“I’ve been in a relationship since I was 14. This was the first time I’ve ever been on my own, going through the worst pain I’ve ever been through in my life,” added Locket, also grieving the sudden loss of a close relative who died in January 2026.
“But over the past few months, since losing both relationships and my family member, I’ve gone to therapy, leaned on my dog and my friends, and learned to find happiness within, which I never thought was possible,” she said.
“My self-worth and validation always came from whichever man I was dating at the time,” she said. “Now that I’ve learned to do that for myself, I figured the transformation deserved celebrating.”
The Decision to Marry Herself
In April, she resolved to live her best life on her own after stumbling upon the engagement ring of her dreams while scrolling social media.
“I thought, ‘Why wait for some man to buy it for me? I want it and I want it now,’” she recalled. “So I bought it for £20,000 ($26,919) and thought, ‘I spent £15,000 ($20,193) on the Galia Lahav wedding dress I wore for my wedding that’s been stuffed away in a suitcase for the past three years.’”
“‘What if I married myself in the dress, changing the bad omen into a good one,’” Locket said. “‘I love myself, I love the ring and I love the dress. Why wait for someone else to give me the opportunity to enjoy this moment when I can just go for it?’”
So, she went ahead and married herself.
With only eight guests, including her best friend and an officiant, Locket solemnly swore to eternally love, honor, and cherish herself while looking into a mirror stationed at the altar of her ceremony on Ibiza’s Cala d’Hort beach.
“Today, I chose myself. Not because I don’t believe in love, but because I finally understand that loving myself must come first,” Locket vowed. “I’ve spent my life dreaming big, loving deep, taking risks, making mistakes, getting back up and becoming the woman standing here today. I’ve loved, I’ve learned, I’ve lost and I’ve rebuilt.”
“Through every high and every heartbreak, I’ve always had myself.”
Championing herself as the “woman who never stopped fighting for her life,” Locket promised, “not to abandon myself while trying to be enough for other people. I promise to protect my peace, trust my intuition and to never shrink myself to fit inside somebody else’s comfort zone.”
“Most importantly, I promise to remember that the love I give myself will shape every part of the life I build,” she recited. “I’m not waiting for somebody else to complete me.”
“I was already whole.”
Future Relationships
When asked if she will ever date again, the 38-year-old isn’t opposed to it.
“This was about me making a meaningful promise to myself. But I’m still very open to love. I’m a hopeless romantic, and I hope the vow I’m making to myself helps pave the way for the right person to come into my life and meet the happiest, healthiest version of me,” Locket said.
