Extra Extra!! A Houston Woman Has Married Herself

Have you heard? If you haven't you would have to have been under a rock because the internet is all abuzz about a Houston woman, Yasmin Eleby marrying herself. That's right no husband; just her.
Your're probably still saying to you. This can't be true.  Well I'm here to tell you it is!!

Let me give the back story. Yasmine made a vow/promise to herself that if she was not married by the age of 40 she would say "I Do" to herself - and that is exactly what she did. Now this was no simple and quick ceremony. Yasmine pulled out all the stops and what we would call here a "Simply Lavish" wedding.

Her wedding day took place on January 3, 2015. The wedding venue of choice was the beautiful Houston Museum of African Culture. Yasmine had 10 bridesmaids on hand, plus close family and friends were in attendance to witness it all. Instead of the traditional white, the bride wore a purple one-shoulder gown while her bridesmaids wore silver dresses. The bride was escorted down the aisle by her mother.

There are sources citing that Eleby expressed interest in honeymooning in Cambodia, Laos, and a jazz festival in Dubai.

I do want to note that it is not legal to marry yourself, so your ceremony would be more of a spiritual ceremony.

Take a look at some of the photos from Yasmine's special day.
