MAIL ORDER BRIDES in European Connections network
That was the end of it.' He saw an ad for European Connections mail order brides in a magazine and got to thinking. A friend of his who had adopted two Russian orphans had already planted the idea of going east for a Russian mail order bride: 'Why not? You ought to go over there.' Why not indeed? After all, Bill was born into the military and had been in the navy. 'I spent years doing nothing but travelling and so that was normal for me,' he says. He contacted European Connections and paid to have his photograph posted on the website. He was on his way - though he wasn't sure exactly where.
Mail order brides dinner briefing.
It is the tour's first night of the mail order brides tour at the Cosmos and the strain is starting to show on the men as the tour director gathers his 70 charges for a briefing and dinner. The director speaks fluent Russian and says he has been a soldier, a spy, a journalist. But tonight, as he prepares the men to meet mail order brides. He sounds a bit like a drill sergeant. 'Don't fixate too early! You gotta work!' he shouts. 'Don't miss a day! Do not let a lady take you out of the process. Tell them you've got a contract to be at all three mail order brides socials. Also, do not waste time talking to your interpreter! Most of them are after husbands too!' The director continues talking as the men start to nibble on something the Russians have labelled hamburger. This, together with greasy soup and red Kool-Aid, constitutes dinner. The men do not care: they are gobsmacked by what lies ahead. 'It's like, for three days all the Miss Americas are coming together and we are the judges,' says one. Most of the men do not fit the stereotypical 'loser' profile but there are always a few in every crowd. Franklin is one of them. He has the drawl of the Deep South and the bullshit to match. He's been to Colombia three times on similar missions to meet mail order brides, he says, and winks conspiratorially.
