Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

I would really like to marry myself. I have been searching the internet and i cannot find a valid answer. Is it legal to marry yourself. If yes in which states? If not where can you legally marry yourself outside of the US. Any help will be great. Thank you so much.

In no state in the nation can you marry yourself, nor can you do so in any other country on planet Earth (to the best of my knowledge).

Here in Oregon, marriage is legally defined and limited to a legal relation between "one man and one woman.." Couples of the same sex can become "registered domestic partners" and thereby gain the same legal rights under Oregon law as are accorded to married persons. But getting married to youself in something you cannot do under existing Oregon law.
