A woman in the Netherlands is getting <a href=\"javascript:newWindow(\" storyid=\"20030312-045821-6444r')&quot;\">married to herself<\/a>. 30-year-old Jennifer Hoes has set the date for May 28. She has her wedding dress, her friends and family have their invitations, and the dinner will cost $22,000. The wedding itself will be in the city hall of Harleem. Apparently, in the anything-goes marriage laws of the Netherlands, the wedding will be legal.<br \/>She told Dutch and German newspapers that she will vow to &#8222;love, respect and honor&#8220; herself in good times and in bad. &#8222;We live in a &#8218;Me&#8216; society,&#8220; she said. &#8222;Hence it is logical that one promises to be faithful to oneself.&#8220;<a name=\"more\"><\/a><br \/>All of this leads UPI religion editor Uwe Siemon-Netto, who reported the story, to wonder:<br \/>This leaves of course a number of unanswered questions: Will she fall for the postmodern rage and adopt a double-barreled name &#8212; Jennifer Hoes-Hoes, for example?
