Matrimonial Boot-Camp Helps Singles Columnist Choose Ideal Temporary Husband

Travel planning and laundry skills are tested as husband hopefuls compete.

Palm Beach County, FL (PRWEB) September 22, 2005 -- A Marital Obstacle Course designed to demonstrate "spousal" savvy helped never-wed singles columnist and television personality Angela Manfredi (http://www.angelahiresahusband.com/) determine who would be her ideal two-week husband (http://www.angelahiresahusband.com/).

"This arrangement is financial, not romancial," Manfredi noted.

Hired husband hopefuls representing California, Cleveland, Atlanta, and South Florida vied for the two-week position through a series of tightly-timed activities including:

- Building the perfect Brownie Sundae (Angela's favorite dessert)

- Selecting the size and style of a high-fashion evening gown for Angela (which all of the men agreed was the toughest task)

- Hurricane supply shopping

- Going one-on-one with a car salesman to negotiate a deal on a new vehicle

- Jar opening & laundry-folding

- Planning a weekend getaway

Following the tasks, the nine prospective "grooms" lined up and asked in unison, "Angela, will you hire me?" Angela then chose Boca Raton's Michael Marks, a 41-year-old sales executive, as her hired husband. "All of the guys were great!" Manfredi says. "But I could only choose one, and Michael's ebullient personality won me over."

Angela Manfredi (http://www.angelahiresahusband.com/) posted her unique "Husband" Help Wanted ad via her Web site: www.angelahiresahusband.com after deciding to step back from dating, but seek back-up in areas such as car repair issues, hurricane preparations and the dinner party circuit.

Hired husband, Michael, will be paid for his two-week tenure and will report for duty sometime in the next few weeks. For more information about Angela Manfredi, please visit www.angelahiresahusband.com.
