Three British men were featured on the show.
First is a 40/50 year old single dad who flew to Bangkok looking for a wife. He joined this group of British men who organised social party stuff and then he met this Thai lady. She looks okay and they got along well though you would see the obvious language barrier. Everything was good till the day he met her family.
The girl's sister showed him a pen, paper and calculator, asking him to pay them for the girl (Dowry). As the man narrating it, he said that he didn't even say goodbye and just walked out.
Following day, he broke up with the girl, saying he cannot stay in that kind of relationship.
Second guy is from Wales, 26 years old, Mike. He signed up to a marriage site where he can choose whoever he wants to marry. He chose a lovely girl from Kiev Ukraine and flew there to meet her personally. Again, a language barrier, but they got along well. One of the rules of that marriage site is not to sleep with the girl, but the guy broke the rule and surprisingly, he wanted to look for another bride. The Site Administrator asked him what was wrong with the first girl and he just said everything happened quickly and he didn't like that. Which made the administrator disappointed and mad at him. He went speed dating with Russian Girls and some of them didn't like him, some did -but they cannot understand each other. Now he's wondering if he should go back to his first option.--- what a .... he's not even good looking!
Another one is a Thai lady who is about to get married to a British postman. Their marriage has no ceremony - just a piece of paper - and, after few minutes, they're already married.
The girl has a 12 year old son and the girl was asked if she loved her husband and she said, at first she just needed money and didn't love him, but eventually she learnt to love him.
So it was shown on the show, until her arrival in England, she left her son for a year - maybe because her husband cannot afford to get him yet - so when she arrived in England, she was surprised that the man lived in a messy house. And the man pointed her towards the cabinet of dishwashing liquid and toilet bowl cleaners referring to what was to be her room. And then the girl started washing the plates and cleaning his house. --lol
Watching that show made me and my fiance realise even more, how lucky we are.
After watching.. he said: "From now on, you will be my slave", and I replied: "Slave your face!"
