| ARTICLES RELATED TO Bride | | | |  Bride: Encyclopedia II - Mail-order bride - Countries of originWhile the Philippines are probably the most common source of East Asian mail-order brides, second place would go to Thailand. There were many U.S. air bases in Thailand during the Vietnam War, and there were U.S. airmen who obtained Thai wives. In Europe, however, Thai brides seem to be more common than Filipinas due possibly to Europe's closer links to Thailand relative to the Philippines. The tourist spot of Phuket in Thailand, which achieved recent notoriety for being hard-hit in the December 2004 earthquake and tsunami, is a major destin ...

| | | | | Bride: Encyclopedia II - Mail-order bride - Selecting an Agency The most popular agencies that are considered legitimate are "A Foreign Affair" based in Phoenix, Arizona [1] and "Anastasia" [2]. These agencies seem to care about arranging true marriages and the owners themselves have been through the mail order bride process. This is one of the most important considerations in choosing a marriage agency. Essentially, they are romance travel agents. They arrange flights, hotels and socials where men can meet the women. Usually there are 10 women for every man at the socials. The cost of a tour with these ...

| | | | | | | Bride: Encyclopedia II - Arranged marriage - Social origins Noble families, especially reigning families, long used arranged marriage to consolidate their strengths and to join their kingdoms.
The arranged marriage is also the marriage concluded with the help of a middleman, once frequent in less cultivated social classes. In some countries it is the man who chooses his wife, often paying a bride price to her family.
Arranged marriage was common in many countries until the 19th century, and is still practiced in some lands, but an increasing nu ...

In both cases, the financial transaction takes place between the groom (or his family) and the bride's family; the bride has no part in the transaction and often no choic ...

McLuhan's 1943 Cambridge University doctoral dissertation is a formidable piece of scholarship, surveying the history of the verbal art ...
