Schweigert, a yoga teacher, spoke to US TV host Anderson Cooper, saying that she was no longer going to rely on others to make her happy like she did in the past and she was no longer waiting for “someone to complete her”.
She added “the love I need is here, ” putting her hand to her heart.
“I feel very empowered, very happy, very joyous… it’s a form of accountability,” she said. She said having the wedding ceremony was in no way attention-seeking.
