Meet Yasmin Eleby, The 40 Year Old Woman That Married Herself (Photos)

According to BlackArtinAmerica, it was a dream wedding. Complete with a fabulous candlelit ceremony and heartfelt vows to forgive, honor and love herself. 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.

For the ceremony, Yasim chose to have one of her sisters who is 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.

How did Yasmin spend her honeymoon?

Details on how this union was consummated, the website says, 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 are to serve as a honeymoon. See more pics from the wedding below
