A woman who vowed that she
would marry herself if she didn’t find love by the time she turned 40, actually
married herself earlier this month in a lavish ceremony here in Houston,
according to reports.
Yasmin Eleby married herself at
the Houston Museum of African American Culture on January 3 in a lavish
ceremony with10 bridesmaids in attendance, plus family and other guests on hand
to celebrate the event.
For this ceremony, Eleby’s
minister sister performed the spiritual service, as it’s not legal to marry
yourself. The pictures from the ceremony look normal, except that Eleby is by
herself in the photos and not standing with a spouse.
According to John Guess Jr.,
the CEO of the complex, the event was very much in line with the forward
thinking normally found at the HMAAC, which welcomes and invites people of all
sexual orientations to enjoy and rent the facility. The surrounding community,
Guess Jr. says, has fully embraced the HMAAC.
When he heard what Eleby, who
works overseas in the oil and gas industry, was planning at the HMAAC he rushed
over to see it for himself.
