00:00This old woman is taking self-love to a whole new level.
00:10An elderly woman in Ohio just married herself in a ceremony.
00:19Dottie, 77-year-old Dottie, wore a white dress and veil and even decorated her walker for the event.
00:28And here's a quick report from WLWT-TV.
00:32Talk about some self-love here for this next story.
00:35Wedding bells were ringing in Goshen at a retirement home.
00:37Dottie Fidelli married herself on Saturday.
00:40She's a resident at O'Bannon Terrace Retirement Home.
00:42Dottie has finally learned to love herself after living most of her life being looked down upon.
00:48Residents at the home got to celebrate with Dottie.
00:50And yes, she even had a dress for the occasion.
00:52Congrats to Dottie and herself.
00:54You can hear more about what this meant to her.
00:56You can check out the full story done by Ashley Kirkland on WLWT.com.
00:59Oh, God.
01:03Why?
01:04That's so sad.
01:05Yeah, that's one of the saddest stories I've ever seen.
01:08Everybody treated me like garbage for the whole time.
01:10And nobody showed up to the ceremony other than those two women.
01:14They're my nurses.
01:17Oh, my God.
01:18That makes me super sad.
01:19Yeah, I don't know what.
01:22I call it the wedding of her dreams.
01:24You want to hear from her?
01:27Should we hear the whole story?
01:29We should.
01:30It's going to really bring us down.
01:31It really is, I think, going to be very depressing.
01:34I'm nervous.
01:35Look at she's putting her shoes on.
01:36She's nervous.
01:37Like any other bride, a day before her wedding,
01:39Dorothy Fidelli has nervous jitters.
01:44I'm excited.
01:46This is something new for me.
01:47I'll leave my walker.
01:50These halls and walls of O'Bannon Terrace Retirement Home in Goshen
01:54don't typically see many blushing brides or weddings.
01:58I never thought I'd look this pretty in a bride thing.
02:01But that'll all change tomorrow afternoon at 3.
02:05It's emotional for me.
02:08Oh, God.
02:09Because this is something I've always wanted.
02:11The 77-year-old whose friends call her Dottie
02:14will walk down the aisle to marry the love of her life.
02:17I was like, what has happened?
02:21My brain got scrambled.
02:23Why are they doing this?
02:25They were showing you like she was marrying herself.
02:27Why did they spend so much time on camera tricks?
02:29Ohio camera tricks.
02:30It's okay.
02:31My brain got scrambled.
02:33Same here.
02:34I was like, what is happening?
02:35It's the same woman.
02:36They just did some camera tricks.
02:38Something just came over me one day in church
02:41that you ought to do something special for yourself.
02:45The mother of three and grandmother
02:46was married once in 1965
02:48during the quick courthouse ceremony.
02:51We just went to the test of the peace
02:52and I went home and he went to work.
02:55She was divorced after nine years of marriage.
02:57Dottie says this time it's about something more.
03:01Love, love is the most important thing in this world.
03:05And if you love God and love yourself,
03:10this world will be a rose, a fill of roses.
03:14It does seem like it worked out.
03:16My voice went, I couldn't speak.
03:17And she wants others who wonder if it'll ever happen.
03:20Oh, she's singing in her own ceremony to herself.
03:23I believe this isn't even the ceremony.
03:25This is the day before.
03:26Well, if it's not in the cards for them,
03:32then there's something out there
03:33that will make them happy
03:36and find their self in life.
03:38Must be her maid of honor.
03:39And fulfill their soul.
03:42Because you love me.
03:44I think Dottie's awesome.
03:46I do too, but...
03:47I have to say, like an old lady in a wedding dress,
03:49if I were to see an old lady in a wedding dress
03:51walking down a hallway,
03:52I'd be like,
03:52Ghost!
03:53Ghost!
03:53Ghost, for sure!
03:551000% ghost!
03:56Me too.
03:57Victorian era clothing!
04:00Ghost!
04:01Run!
04:03It's the ghost of Dottie!
04:04Dottie's past!
04:05Because no one else is there.
04:07She's never married, she's terrified!
04:08There's no one else.
04:09Yeah, so she was married for a little while,
04:11but got divorced in the 70s
04:12and never took a partner again.
04:14Bad marriage and never found anyone else.
04:17Mm-mm-mm.
04:18Especially if she was singing like that, too.
04:20Because she...
04:21Ah!
04:22Yeah, fine.
04:23Oh my god!
04:24It's the ghost of Dottie!
04:26Oh, she's singing!
04:27It's so horrible!
04:28Run!
04:29Everybody get out of here!
04:31There is life after death,
04:33and Dottie is experiencing it!
04:34Run, run!
04:35Run!
04:36Run away!
04:37What did you see?
04:38I saw a ghost of a lady in Victorian-era clothing,
04:41and she was singing!
04:43Oh, it's terrifying!
04:46Oh, my...
04:46Listen to it!
04:47Oh!
04:48The terrifying sounds of Dottie!
04:50Must love yourself!
04:52Oh, God!
04:55Oh, my.
04:57It was amazing watching Dave just keep going with an improvised song.
05:01How many lyrics can he create?
05:03That's incredible.
05:04Yeah.
05:06He really was telling a tale.
05:07Be a creepy old wedding ghost.
05:09Yeah.
05:10I think he borrowed a little bit from Barney there.
05:12That's fine.
05:13I don't know how many hymns Dave knows off the top of his head.
05:22He's singing.
05:22By the hammer
05:26Hide him in the corner
05:30Hide a hammer in the ear
05:34All over this flower
05:38Hide a hammer off
05:41Dangerous
05:43Run for your life!
05:44It's the ghost of Dottie!
05:46Dear God!
05:46The Dottie must have freshly passed
05:51and her spirit walks the hallways.
05:54Oh, God.
05:58Dottie, please.
06:00Stop the singing.
06:01Please go back to the realm.
06:08I mean, wow, that's creepy.
06:14You're right.
06:15If I went around the, I'm in like a creepy, you know, building.
06:20It's an older age home.
06:21Who knows what's going on in there?
06:23I walk around the corner.
06:25Yep.
06:26You see Dottie at the end of the hallway holding her roses?
06:29Just by herself.
06:32Just by herself.
06:33Ah!
06:36Oh, dear God.
06:38The ghost of Dottie is always there waiting for her groom to come,
06:41but he never arrives.
06:43Oh, my God.
06:43He never shows.
06:45The story of Dottie.
06:46So she'll sing for all eternity by her love.
06:49She died before she was able to get married.
06:52Now she haunts these hallowed halls.
06:56Singing creepy hymns.
06:58Occasionally singing a creepy hymn.
07:01Or a Peter, Paul, and Mary song.
07:03One of the two.
07:06Also terrifying.
07:08Yep.
07:09Ah, we wish Dottie the best.
07:10Yes, we do.
07:11We do.
07:11We hope she finds her own self-love.
07:14I think she's found it.
07:15Yeah, she has.
07:16Yeah.
07:17It seems like she has.
07:18She's terrified the rest of us, but she has found love.
07:20Yeah.
07:20Yeah.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Yeah.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Yeah.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Yeah.
07:24Yeah.
