Howdy partners, we’re the folks from ‘Marry Our Daughter‘ and we’d like to put you in on with one of our daughters, offer you low down payments, and guarONtee enough arranged bliss for a lifetime!

Can this be real? Brittney linked to it, and Gavin, over at ‘Hit the Back Button to Move Forward‘ picked up on the madness as well. ‘Marry Our Daughter‘ is a web service dedicated to helping parents arrange marriages for their daughters. This service is not intended for third-world-old-school-ancient-cultures. This site is for us in the good old USA!!

Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting those following the Biblical tradition of arranging marriages for their daughters.

Those who wish to list their Daughters with our site should click on SIGN UP OUR DAUGHTER on our main page for a form to fill out.

Those who wish to propose to a specific Daughter should click on the PROPOSE button on the Daughter’s INFO CARD.

I’d like to think this is a hoax, but if not, You, YES YOU, can pick up a slightly used Cheyenne for under $6,000. On the other hand, Hailey N’ll set you back a cool $99,000. Yes, these parent’s aren’t just arranging marriages, they’re PIMPING their daughters out..

Maybe it is the end of the world, but unlike Michael Stipe, I’m not feeling so fine.

LOL, I linked to it in the comments of one of my posts. It’s hilarious, but I’d like to know exactly how different it is from this?


Brittney on 10 September, 2007 at 7:12 pm #

At first I thought the URL was MarryYourDaughter.com–then I was *really* squicked out.


Southern Beale on 10 September, 2007 at 7:15 pm #

Someone at Digby joked it was “Marr Your Daughter.” LOL.

When I first saw the post over at Digby’s, she also paired it with THIS site, which, sadly, IS real:

QuiverFull, which will be the future of little Cheyenne and Kyra….

Does that $99k include the ring and the wedding?


Jackson on 10 September, 2007 at 7:56 pm #

Finally we have an answer to the great question How much for the little girl?


Rachel on 10 September, 2007 at 7:56 pm #

Snopes doesn’t make a claim one way or the other.

“your women, i want to buy them.”

nice jackson


Ron on 11 September, 2007 at 12:32 am #

Do you get discounts for buying in bulk?

As if people get married today for any better reasons - and a 50%+ divorce rate for those who married “for love.”
Well, arranged marriages are not quite the meat market some people make it out to be. Disparaging comments aside, check out this wiki on the subject, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arranged_marriage
A very low divorce rate is but one advantage.

It’s got to be a hoax. Those testamonials can’t be serious.


Southern Beale on 11 September, 2007 at 9:35 am #

and a 50%+ divorce rate for those who married “for love.”

When the culture stops selling little girls Cinderella fairy tales about marriage and people stop looking for “happily ever after” we might be able to do something about that divorce rate. The problem is not that it’s too easy to get divorced, but that it’s too easy to get married.

I’m betting that the myths told to little boys have something to do with it as well.

Great idea!!!
Think of the franchise opportunities!


Katie on 11 September, 2007 at 7:13 pm #

What about a “marry me” service?

E-Harmon.com

Katie on 11 September, 2007 at 7:59 pm #

Eh, tried it.


Southern Beale on 11 September, 2007 at 8:09 pm #

did you try Match.com?

Or, for those of a liberal persuasion, there’s DemocraticMatch.com.


Katie on 11 September, 2007 at 8:13 pm #

I’m ON match. Not much luck. It’s impossible to meet guys around here!!! Sigh. Ooh..I’m gonna look into democraticmatch.com. :)


Southern Beale on 11 September, 2007 at 8:31 pm #

You’ll have to import one; that’s what I did. There really aren’t that many guys around here. Back when I was single I remember hearing that the demographics of Nashville are something like 60% female, 40% male. Maybe not that drastic, but definitely not favoring the females.


Katie on 11 September, 2007 at 8:45 pm #

All right. Guess I’ll try “mailorderhusbands.com”.
