Chen Wei-yi has had one of the most unusual weddings in history by marrying herself in a ceremony in Taiwan.

Chen - who also goes by her English name of Only - carried out the ceremony this weekend, complete with flower girl, cake and ring, as a protest against the pressures on women in Taiwanese society to get married.

The Taiwanese government has just stepped up its publicity campaign to encourage marriage and parenthood in order to boost the island's very low birthrate.

Many Taiwanese women are delaying marriage because they want to have an education and a career. It is thought that they then find it hard to meet the expectations of potential husbands and parents-in-law to put housekeeping and child-rearing ahead of their jobs.

Only, who turns 30 in December, has taken a stand against these pressures and is committed to accepting herself as she is. She says "I feel that marrying myself represents a promise to really love myself."

Her wedding to herself has attracted some negative comments online from people saying it is just a ploy to rake in wedding gift money, but there have also been thousands of messages of support from women around the world.

BBC Taipei Correspondent Cindy Sui went to meet Only for Outlook as she prepared for her big day.
