Woman turns 40, had no man...and decided to marry herself. See her wedding pics

Yasmin Eleby from Houston, Texas promised herself when she was much younger that if she hit 40 and wasn't married, she would marry herself. And so when she hit 40 recently and wasn't married and didn't even have a man, she kept that promise to herself. Yasmin threw herself a full wedding, complete with a candlelit ceremony.

She had her mum walk her down the aisle, and had her sister who is a minster, help her say vows, in a spiritual ceremony - because you can't legally marry yourself in America. Her other three sisters were her bridesmaid and her friends attended. The wedding took place at Huston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC), on Saturday, January 3, 2015. See the photos after the cut...

THERE ARE A LOT OF MEN OUT THERE, IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF , AND SMART.

A LOT OF WOMEN CAN NOT GET A MAN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT READY TO SHARE THEIR MEN WITH OTHERS.

PLEASE STOP THINKING OF THIS, PLEASE JUST GO FOR MEN,
THEN USE THEM AND LEAVE THEM .

BECAUSE MEN ARE NOT READY TO KEEP THEMSELVES FOR ONE WOMAN ,
YOU HAVE TO SHARE THEM.

THOSE WOMEN WHO HAVE HUSBAND AND MARRIED FOR LONG, ARE VERY SMART AND INTELLIGENT .

PLEASE DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF OF MEN PLEASE GO OUT THERE AND APPLY WISDOM AND YOU WILL BE SUPPRISE WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE.
