Meet the Temporary Bride
Friends and family finance hired husband" as birthday gift to singles columnist.
South Florida (PRWEB) August 4, 2005 -- In stark contrast to women who experience runaway bride syndrome, the nuptials" of singles humor columnist and television personality Angela Manfredi are about cold cash, not cold feet. That's because she is offering a salary to the ideal temporary spouse."
When my loved ones inquired as to what I wanted for my birthday this year," Manfredi says, I asked them to help me hire a man...a wingman."
Weary of dating and declaring herself on guy-iatus" but in need of back-up in areas such as car repair issues, household management challenges, hurricane preparations and the dinner party circuit, Angela, with the support of friends and family, posted the unique HUSBAND" HELP WANTED ad on her web site: www.angelahiresahusband.com.
Because she says she is not looking for love, Manfredi is often asked why she wouldn't simply hire a handyman to help around the house. "This is not about a guy being adept at using a power drill or knowing how to change a tire," she says. It's about having access to the male viewpoint for day to day decisions. And, this is an experiment for me. Never having been a bride, it will be interesting to experience the practical side of marriage for a couple of weeks at this stage of my life."
