June Bride with a Twist: Columnist to Hire a Husband
Help Wanted: Unique position available for success-minded single man to help never-wed singles columnist experience the practical side of marriage for two weeks over the summer.
Palm Beach County, FL (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) June 22, 2005 -- While thousands of brides will be saying, "I do."
this summer, one woman longs to add to those magic words: "I do hire you!"
Single life columnist and television personality, Angela Manfredi, will launch a
nationwide search to hire the ideal husband. The self-proclaimed happily single
career woman has occasionally fretted over the perils of everyday life: car
repairs, cleaning out the cluttered garage and preparing for those dreaded
hurricanes. Are these the types of household dilemmas that a husband might
handle? What about the social challenges singles face? Could a temporary husband
put to rest the annoying "why aren't you married?" questions? In her newspaper
column, "Singled Out," Angela challenges qualified men around the country to
apply for the position of husband for hire. This arrangement will not be legally
binding and the husband will receive a salary for his two-week tenure. And, as
Angela says, "The relationship is financial, not romancial." The entire
experience will be chronicled in her columns.
Who exactly is a qualified
temporary husband? According to Angela, she is not looking for a handyman. She
wants the entire "perfect husband" package on a brief, part-time basis. The
ideal man is success-minded, intelligent; single (over 21), possesses
personality, originality, sense of humor. Handy helps, but resourcefulness
rules! The job requires: light bulb changing, attending cultural events, bench
warming at the mall, negotiating car repairs, garage organizing, participating
in the Sunday night dinner and a movie ritual and hurricane preparations.
Previous husband experience is not required. Lack of cat allergies is a must.
Why would an accomplished professional want to embark on such an unusual
endeavor? "As a life-long single gal and relationship writer, I decided it would
be fun, enlightening, and down- right practical to find out how the married half
lives," states Angela. What's in it for the men? "For better or worse, until the
end of our employment contract do us part, you could consider this espousal
exercise groom-ing for the real thing, a refresher course, or just a great
summer job adventure!"
Eligible men are invited to apply for this
position via a videotape and questionnaire found at www.angelahiresahusband.com. The search runs through July 19,
2005. In August, finalists will convene in Palm Beach, Florida for a long
weekend of "husbandly" challenges and tasks. Angela and a panel of judges will
select the winner during a beach side employment commitment ceremony in the
presence of family and friends. The husband will live in Angela's residence for
the duration of the "marriage."
