40 year old, Yasmin Eleby from Houston, Texas celebrated a milestone birthday by marrying herself in front of family and friends, Eleby who has yet to find a life partner, got married on the 3rd January in a candlelight ceremony at the Houston Museum of African American Culture where she was given away by her mum and 3 sisters who were also her bridesmaids alongside 7 other bridesmaids.
She said, she promised herself, once she hits 40 if she didn’t find someone who loved her as much as she did, she would marry herself and that is exactly what she did. Because you can’t legally marry yourself in America, Eleby had a spiritual ceremony, conducted by 3 ministers including one of her sisters who is also a minister and helped her say her vows. The new bride loves to travel and plans to visit, Cambodia, Laos, and the jazz festival in Dubai this year for her honeymoon.
Ladies, would you marry yourself ?
