Woman spends $50K to marry herself after several disappointments from men

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 - A woman has married herself in an expensive wedding that cost $50,000 

Bonnie Locket chose to forget about men and marry herself after enduring back-to-back infidelity in romantic relationships that left her depressed and nearly su!cidal. 

The model, who has run a lucrative Only Fans account for six years, bought a $20,000 designer wedding dress and a $27,000 pear-shaped, three-carat yellow diamond ring and 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, exclusively 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.  

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 called it quits on the marriage after learning the guy 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, too.  

“I thought about k!lling 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 di£d 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.” 

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.’”
