(NEWSER) – Houston native Yasmin Eleby vowed that she'd marry herself if she hadn't found true love by 40. And for her 40th birthday, that's exactly what she did. The well-traveled businesswoman who works overseas in the oil industry organized an elaborate wedding, reports the Houston Chronicle, which included 10 bridesmaids and was officiated by her minister sister. (It was a spiritual service, as it is not legal to marry oneself.) Eleby's mother walked her down the aisle, and Eleby sang R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly," which includes the line, "Now I know the meaning of true love."
"I was overwhelmed with the outpouring of love and support that was shown to me during my celebration of love and life," Eleby wrote on Facebook. She held the ceremony at the Houston Museum of African American Culture, reports People; the venue CEO says Eleby is "attractive, she works hard, and she's worldwide," adding that "she's now indicated to others that she has high standards." Eleby has planned a multi-country honeymoon, including stops in Cambodia, Laos, and a jazz festival in Dubai. (In other wedding news, one couple recently tied the knot in their 4-year-old son's hospital room.)
There is a very coarse suggestion for how she can consummate this marriage.
She needs to consumate the marriage, so I guess she needs to go F herself.
This might be an indication of why she can’t find “true love”.
just a thought
If she goes out with a man will she be cheating on herself?
: )
Obama would have done this too, but he married a “beard” in order to maintain his political viability.
Yeah, I was going to make some comment about the wedding night consummation, myself.
she married BOB
When a mirror becomes your only Life Partner, that is what completely giving up on romance can look like.
“You may now apply a battery-powered device to the bride.”
ummm.... I think they've been living together for awhile now.
Well at least she could have sex with somebody she loved.
Bad move on her part.... If she winds up getting a divorce, her ex is going to get half.
“as it is not legal to marry oneself”
I hadn’t really thought about it, but I’d bet that this situation is so absurd that there actually isn’t a law against it.
I wonder how many people were dumb enough to give her a gift.
.
LOL!
Why didn’t she just try to make a lesbian, polyamorous threesome with Annalise Parker and her wife?
We have become The United States of Freakshow.
Waiting for the upcoming ‘divorce’ notices.
