40 YEAR OLD YASMIN ELEBY MARRIED HERSELF

A Houston woman named Yasmin Eleby promised herself a long time ago that she would be married by the time she is 40 years of age. Unfortunately for her, when she clocked 40 years, there was no man in her life so she decided to fullfill her promise and married herself in a full wedding ceremony.

Here is the report:

It was a dream wedding. Complete with a fabulous candlelit ceremony and heartfelt vows to forgive, honor and love ... herself. Yes, Yasmin Eleby promised herself that if she hadn't found a mate by the time she was 40, she would marry herself, and she kept her promise. What better way to start the year than with an act of self love? After a moment of pause, you may be asking, how do you marry... yourself?

Yasim chose to have one of her sisters who is also a minster, help her say vows, in a spiritual ceremony - because you can't legally marry yourself in America. She says the best part of her special day was having her family there to "stand up" for her. Her other three sisters were bridesmaids and her mom gave her away; or back to herself in this case.

She chose Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC) because he was able to recreate the space, "so it was like an open canvass," says Darrell."It seems natural that they would choose this space," according to John Guess Jr. CEO of HMAAC, "since the community feels welcome here."

So we know what you're asking - what about he HONEYMOON. Well the article addressed that too LOL. They reported, "Details on how this union was consummated will remain private, but Yasmin loves to travel. She plans to visit Cambodia, Laos, and the jazz festival in Dubai this year, her extensive plans will serve as a honeymoon."
