Wow. It is hard to imagine that's just how their culture is. I wonder how the bride felt about the new arrangement?

It's amazing just how different the culture is from ours, or anyones for that matter.

Funny thing is the bride had likely never met either of the brothers before, so what difference did it make to her? She still got tied to the same family with the same dowry I'd bet.
I can't imagine my family arranging a marriage for me! It's just too weird. Hopefully she got the better of the 2 at least.

Really strange. Sounds like she may have gotten a much better husband though.

Goodness, that is weird. Hope she got the better brother of the two! I can not imagine having an arranged marriage.

wow maybe that would have been better with my oldest son's father. His brother was the much better man & closer to my age (we were only a couple of months apart. My son's father was almost 2 years older lol).

Seems like she got the better man. I hope so anyway. I don't know if I'd want my family to pick out a husband for me. I doubt that would've chosen Brendon (since they didn't know him at first) and I couldn't imagine being married to anyone else.
