For this mission I'm visiting the Americas. I have been researching The Americas and it turns out, they have a difficult
marriage arrangement. First the grooms family hires a matchmaker, or
atanzahab, and they go find a bride and interview her. Once the matchmaker finds a girl that fits the groom's parent's needs, they meet and talk about their kids. If the grooms family likes the brides family, they will get married. Lucky for me, I have been arranged to be a
atanzahab, let the fun begin!
"So what do you want your son's wife to have?" I asked a lovely couple. I was surprised to not see the groom their.
"We want her to be rich. And loyal, and pretty." The mom stated saying. "And be able to cook."
"She needs to be healthy, and want children." Said the dad.
"That is all for now, we will let you know if we think of anything else." The mother told me.
"Umm, OK I will get strait to work." I said and rushed off into the village.
I interviewed what seemed like 100 girls, but same weren't able to cook, some were not rich, some looked like they were going to die. Their was one i have not meet yet.
"Excuse me mind if I ask you a few questions?" I asked her.
"Sure, I don't mind." She said. I asked all the questions the grooms family gave me, and she got all of them. I set up an interview with the parents and then I left to go tell the groom.
In the meeting sesion, I could not tell if the parents liked each other. They all had a poker face on. The parents agreed to marry the son and daughter. I felt happy that I made this happen. They even invited me to the wedding.
The wending was grate, both the family's said thank you to me. The bride and groom look happy together, even if they couldn't chose for them selves. I Think i'm going to return to my own time now, where i know i can make my own choices.
