This Woman Refused to ‘Always Be a Bridesmaid’

Kshama Bindu just got hitched in India’s first sologamist marriage. Yes, she married herself. Kshama had the traditional henna mehndi applied to her hands and arms. But instead of her future husband’s name hidden in the intricate design, hers says, “just a girl who cared to try." The 24-year-old recruiter and blogger said, “Not having a groom cannot stop me from becoming a bride.” For a honeymoon, she’s taking herself on a two-week solo trip.
