Black Woman Marries Herself in Houston

Yasmin Eleby  decided to give herself she's never had before. And with her 40th birthday approaching and no potential husband in sight, she chose to gift herself with the elaborate wedding she’d always dreamed of. However, instead of vowing to love, forgive and honor a significant other, the Houston resident made the lifelong promises to herself.

The ceremony was held at the Houston Museum of African American Culture on Saturday, January 3 and included 10 bridesmaids and three ministers, who assisted with the spiritual ceremony. She was walked down the aisle and given away by her mother. Entertainment for the evening included live music and poetry. The ceremony was coordinated by event planner Darrell Colone Honeymoon plans are unclear, but according to BAIA, Eleby enjoys traveling and intends to visit Cambodia, Laos, and the jazz festival taking place in Dubai this year.
