Would you marry a stranger?

My daughter is going to. My youngest daughter is a 39 year old widow. She was a honor student in high school so she really wasn't stupid but she never wanted to be anything except married to a man with money. She was but he passed away and her money is running out. So today I learned she is planning on going on television to get married to a total stranger and she doesn't even get to pick him out. Her daughters do. There will be some men there who want to get married and her daughters get to choose one for their mom (The don't want to do this) The TV program pays for this wedding and all and She has to marry him if she goes on the show. She got the call today that she is picked to go on the show. She is all excited that she is finally going to get married. She has a boyfriend at present that she doesn't want to marry even though she just had his baby. I don't blame her but still...She wants to get married fast as her widows benefits run out soon and she doesn't want to go to work or marry the boyfriend. ?? Would you do this to get a husband?

Don't tell me to try to talk her out of it. She has never listened to anything I've ever told her since she was born.

No Bel, I would not do it, but that's because money has never ever been my motivator to do anything. At 39, she sounds more like a 20 year old. So she's just dumping a guy that she just had a baby by to go on tv to hopefully marry someone she does not even know???? Do they know all of the facts about her (relationships, baby and all)?

Very strange indeed!

Heavens no, I wouldn't marry a stranger just to get on TV. I suppose the men had to have met a certain criteria, money wise and all and apparently the women did too so what can ya say.

I suppose it's not fair for me to me judgmental.

Will you let us know so we can watch?

NO - and someone needs to slip this gal and anyone else who would consider it a sanity pill! But then again it's REALITY TV which is all about unusual behaviors - the stranger the better.

My daughter listens to me and I know she does because after she gets herself in trouble she says, " I should have taken your advice".

oh my lord!!! for heavens' sake, no I wouldn't and I don't think I could support one of my kids if they decided to do this either!
I say one show where it was the guy looking to get married and the daughters picked the gal. One girl was really heartbroken. I thought this was all staged! You mean it's actually real?

Absolutely Not! I Wouldn't Just Up And Marry Some Stranger On A Whim! Especially If I Don't Know What He's Really Like. Maybe If You,Or Your Daughter Knows His Name, Maybe You Should Hire A Detective Service & Have This Guy Thoroughly Investigated. You Never Know, Maybe He's O.K., & Maybe He May Have A Criminal Past, That He Could Be Hideing! As For Your Daughter, She Is About To Marry This Guy For All The Wrong Reasons, In Which She Might Regret Later. She Shouldn't Be Encouraging Her Daughters To Follow Suit Either, Because They Also May Regret It Later,When It's Too Late! This Is, Or Could Be A Very Bad Move For Them! I Guess If You Can't Talk Your Daughter Out Of This Decision, You'll Just Have To Let Her Make Her Own Mistake.

She married the last guy for money. This guy she has now doesn't seem to have any and he doesn't want her. Hasn't spent a dime on this baby not even a diaper.

She has no idea who any of the contestants will be but if she accepts to go on the show she has to marry. She knows my opinion and doesn't care. Never did. I told her to use the money she has to go to college so she can support herself but she wants a rich man and she's determined to get one. She is all excited. Her daughters are furious. I don't know the details or what show. I wasn't there when she got the call my husband was. I think it is Oprah but not sure yet.
She is hurt we are not happy for her.

Look on the bright side. She might get lucky. If not, she can get a divorce. Millions of people do it every day and most of them hand picked their own spouse.
