one way is if they ask for money to help support their family, then things will get bogged down in paper work, and more support will be needed. and in many the cases there are "supposed" fees and then last minute fees. then about a year from arrival of the bride comes the divorce and she is free to do as she wishes with half of your money. such cases have been done by philipine, japanese, chinese and russian bride "services. also many are run by organized crime syndicates in the respective country.

mmmm, mail order bride.

Nothing more exciting that getting that big box with your new bride. Just make sure you don't have them do any strenuous activities for the first few days. They spend at least 48 hours jammed into that box and if you over work them too quickly you can easily damage their joints.

Mail order brides, is that something similar to the Dial-A-wh... nevermind I figured it out.

Why would you want to marry someone you've never met?
