“I want to marry myself!”

To plan for a solo wedding, to marry myself, to declare my forever love for myself to the world!

To love others, I must love myself. Simple enough, right? But who am I? In a pageant of love, four contest as lovers, each one goodhearted in their own right. Does Ping want all four or none at all? By marrying herself, can she figure out who she really is? And who she really loves? Ping will tell it all on the day of the solo wedding…

Director’s Statement

The inspiration for the film came from a news report in 2013 about someone marrying themselves, which I found quite innovative and it sparked a great curiosity to explore the matter. It's a fresh topic for the new generation. The novelty has always been the biggest motivator for my creativity.

I was also genuinely moved by the real 'sologamy' ceremonies. It's said that the biggest problem people have is being unable to be honest with themselves. Throughout my growth, there have been times when I hated myself, wanted to hide, and lied about my past; I was ashamed to sincerely say the words 'I love myself.' Beyond the comedic aspect, this ceremony is a torment for our inner selves, for that part of our soul that feels unlovable.

Every era needs sincerity and humor, and I hope this film can bring that to everyone.
