The Imported Bride.

The sight that greeted John on the street was troublesome and a bit too much for him, Andy was laying on the cold floor with doctors working very hard on him. Shocked, he walked over to them and asked if he was dead...... luckily he was not!.

Andy is a known figure in town, always there in his wheel chair. Dirty, smelling, un-kempt, constantly smoking and begging for a euro or two from passersby. 

How did it come to this?  

John's mind flashed back to Andy before his predicament.

Andy used to be one of the happening guys in town, he was the attention of girls whenever he hit the clubs, he was hardly in short supply of babes whether whites or blacks....

  Then Andy decided he had had enough of the parties and girls, he wanted to get married and settle down so He took a trip back home to Africa and IMPORTED his bride. 

They lived together happily until she settled down and got her papers, then she left Andy and married another guy.

This was too much for him and since he couldn't take it anymore, he decided to take his own life. 

So,one day he went to the Train station and jumped in front of a moving train, but fortunately or unfortunately for him, he did not die but lost both legs. That is how Andy ended up in a wheel chair.

The pathetic part of this is how Andy now lives his life! 

He lives like a junkie, always dirty, smelling, smoking weed and begging passersby for money… of cause he gets money from the government but it’s obvious he can’t get past his predicament. 

The imported bride on the other hand has long moved on with her life and might have even forgotten she ever knew a person by the name of Andy. Well, while there might be nothing wrong in going back to Africa to marry, my question is "What is wrong with marrying where you reside?

At least such a girl knows how life is in the West, as opposed to a girl that might have accepted to marry you because you came from the West. 

On getting here… the culture shock! The struggles! The Cold! The Boredom! These and so many other factors can have a negative influence on a person that just came to the WEST with high hopes…. I praise and applaud all the imported brides that gave it their very best shot and worked so hard to make sure their marriages worked out at the end despite all the huddles..

  

   

NOTE: This story in no way supports the Idea that people can or should only marry from where they reside as each individual knows what suits him or her best.

*Are you an IMPORTED bride/groom?

Did you IMPORT your bride/groom?

I know of a lady who Imported the man she wanted to marry to America and today he is married to someone else.they had dated for a while before she left and when she wanted to marry,she went back to Nigeria for him,he proposed,they got engaged and she helped him into America.

After he studied the ropes and knew how to get around,he left her high and dry.

she did not say her part in what happened or what made him run but i do not believe that these people just wakes up and run.

Today she is never stops talking about that bitter experience and is always the first to advise anyone who wants to tow her line not to do it.

I see a lot of imported brides here who do not waste time in calling the Police on their men.I have seen imported grooms who come into the west and misuse the opportunity,chase anything in skirts and end up impregnating different women of different colour.

heard any real life imported bride or groom tales that went wrong?
