Anyone watch this special on National Geographic? Here is a link from their website: E-mail order bride.
The dude from Utah was a total dork, and no wonder he had to fly across the world to find a girl.

The other guy featured on the show married a Russian woman, and I don't think I ever saw a genuine smile from her once during the episode. I suppose she could have just been nervous on TV, or uncomfortable having her private life being filmed....but I figured she would have at least been overjoyed on her wedding day.

|  | layin' it down like pavement | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: North Kingstown, Rhode Island | | | Russian and Chinese women are desperately trying to get to America anyway they can. There are many websites that are set up like Internet dating sites but in reality are just sites where the women want to get married and "start" a family with anybody dumb enough to take that chance sight unseen. And believe me, once they are here, they're smart enough to know where the predominately Russian areas of this country are so if they want to leave the guy they have somewhere to go and then they can work for a green card. I saw one site where they were actually showing pics of the girls with very little clothing on so as to entice all the dudes that are looking... HUGE RED FLAG!!! Never in a million years would I do such a thing.
And IMHO, anybody that does is loco. )=(

I remember her saying, "When we go over there you can't talk to anyone."
and I said, "Why not?"
"Because they will know you are American and try to marry you... I'm not joking." |

I know 2 guys who married Mail order. 1 man is a troll. The other is not bad looking. He admits he just wants a woman to stay at home and be his maid+.
I can't condemn mail order. it's just as weird as any other courting ritual. |

Totally changed my outlook on american women, most of those that I meet tend to piss me off. Is it too much to ask to treat me like a human instead of a walking wallet?
edit: BTW, did anyone else see that pair of twins on the photos page? I may have to find their myspace page...
Peace,
Greg

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Ohio | | | A few years ago I went to the wedding of a coworker of one of my parents. I had never met the guy, but somehow I garnered an invite; they were that hard up for guests. I only went for the free food at the reception.
The guy was marrying a mail-order bride girl from Colombia, but there was a twist...
He was in contact with a girl down there and after the usual letter exchanges and a few awkward phone calls, he proposed. She accepted & he flew down to Colombia to meet her and bring her back. He got there only to find out that his girl changed her mind and decided to stick with her local fiance. So the girls parents sent him back the next day with their other daughter, whom he had never even met.
I don't know how long the whole fiance visa process took before she was allowed into the US, but this guy had no contact with the girl the entire time. He planned this big wedding for himself and a girl he knew nothing about; he saw her for about 2 hours on his last day in Colombia and that was it. He couldn't even remember her name!
The wedding was...bizarre, to say the least. He didn't speak a word of spanish. She didnt speak a word of english. The girls father was the only one who knew any english, and it was limited.
The minister first asked the girl if she was there "of her own free will." Then asked the groom "Have these people started asking you for money yet?" He was so flustered that he walked out without performing the ceremony! Said "You have your marriage license from the state, so legally you ARE already married. I'm sorry, but i can not in good conscience perform this wedding," and left.
Surprise surprise, 2 months later, the girl was back in Colombia, after cleaning out the guy's bank accounts that he stupidly gave her full access to.
