Laura Mesi, 40, had promised herself she would wed herself if she hadn't met ''the one'' by the time she hit the milestone age, and she's stayed true to her word.

She told Italian newspaper La Republica: ''I told friends and family that if I had not found my soulmate by my 40th birthday I would marry myself.''

During an extravagant ceremony attended by 70 guests, the lone bride - who had a solo figure on top of a white tiered cake - splashed £8,700 on her big day, including a white gown and special ring.

While she admitted she would divorce herself for the right man, she added: ''If one day I find a man with whom I can plan a future I'll be happy, but my happiness does not depend on him.''
