Meet the Temporary Bride
Friends and family finance hired “husband” as birthday gift to singles columnist.
South Florida (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) 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.”
Applications have started to roll in from around the country
(as has overwhelming support from single women in similar situations). Entries
will be accepted through mid- August. The ideal man for this position is
success-minded, intelligent; single, over 21, and possesses personality,
originality, and sense of humor. Candidates are not required to quit their day
jobs; a flexible work schedule will be considered for the right
applicant.
In addition to her career as a writer, Angela is an
award-winning television and radio broadcaster who served as an on-air news
reporter in West Palm Beach, Miami, and El Paso.
