She held a wedding ceremony conducted by her celebrant friend at Harvest House in Felixstowe, Suffolk.
Sarah Wilkinson who is a credit controller by profession spent around $12,000 on the celebration.
She had saved money each month and added windfalls, like bingo winnings, to fund her big day.

Her friends were not surprised by her unconventional choice to marry herself, and she said everyone had a great time.
She wrote 14 vows for herself, including a promise to never give up control of the TV remote.

Her friend, a professional wedding planner, conducted the ceremony.
Despite having her dream wedding day, Sarah hasn't ruled out the possibility of meeting a future partner.
She explained that it was more about not wanting to put in the effort of searching for one rather than giving up on the idea.
