A Houston woman celebrated her 40th birthday by giving herself the lavish wedding she had always dreamed of — complete with a walk down the aisle, vows, and a first dance. Yes, just herself. No husband in sight.
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?
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.
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.
wow,anyways stranger things have happened....
