In an unusual development, a man in Brazil married himself in a lavish ceremony after his fiancee backed out at the very last moment.

According to the details, Diogo Rabelo, 33, had an engagement with fiancee Vitor Bueno last year in November.

The duo was supposed to get married last month, but after a heated argument, Miss Bueno, decided to leave Diogo in July 2020.

However, instead of canceling the wedding, Diogo then decided to marry himself and celebrated the big day in a lavish ceremony.

Mr Rabelo hosted a fancy wedding party on October 17 at a luxury resort in Itacare, in the northeastern state of Bahia. Only about 40 people attended the unusual ceremony amid the coronavirus pandemic, but the doctor described it as one of the happiest days of his life.

“Today is one of the happiest days of my life, since I am with the people I love the most in this life, celebrating what could be a tragedy, but I turned it into a comedy,” he said.

He shared the lovely wedding photos alongside his family and close friends.

In another post, he thanked all the people whose support helped him overcome a low phase of his life.

Rabelo also thanked his ex-girlfriend and wished her well. “I respect you… I want you to be free to go where you want and to stay where you want,” he wrote.
