Most of us think the mail-order bride went the way of the stagecoach. She did, for a while. Now she’s back, this time
in cross-cultural form. In the past decade, the number of visas issued to Asians coming to this country to marry
Americans have jumped from 34 to 3,400, and the number of mail-order-bride services has quadrupled. Louis
Florence and his wife, Tessie, have operated their American Worldwide Service since 1979. They claim to have
arranged more than 750 marriages. For about $360 a man can correspond exclusively with many women from a
whole catalog of candidates. Louis Florence says his customers are men who are disillusioned by American women:
“They are turned off, they say, because of the lack of femininity, but once they’re married all the love and romance
goes out of the marriage. It’s been our experience from talking to these gentlement-these gentlemen have been
married four, five years now-that once they are married to these ladies from Philippines and Malaysia, it’s as though
they’re on their honeymoon right now. From my personal experience, being married to lovely Tessie, she has been
brought up in the Asian culture that makes her feel that she will love, honor, obey, and treat her husband very nicely
all the time.”
