Yasmin Eleby Marries Herself After Turning 40

Yasmin Eleby

Yasmin Eleby recently married herself in a lovely candlelight ceremony at the Huston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC), on Saturday, Janauary 3, 2015.
Family and friends of the bride, who is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., were in attendance to support her as she exchanged vows with herself in a solo wedding.
According to Eleby, she had promised herself that if she had not found a husband by the time she turns 40, she would marry herself. And she kept that promise.
Her 3 sisters and some of her friends were her bridesmaids, and her mother gave her away... well, technically, gave her to herself.
A lot of people have questioned the wisdom behind this sort of wedding, while others congratulated her for taking the bold step.
Perhaps, this is a lesson in self-love, but is this a little too much? What do you guys think?
