An American man seeking a foreign bride may avail himself of over 200 different services in which foreign women advertise for husbands. There are two types of such services. In one type,
the so-called "mail-order bride" industry (representatives of the industry prefer the term "international correspondence service"), women's names, photos, biographical sketches, and
addresses are presented in hard copy brochures or on the Internet.
While there no longer are any real mail order brides, you can find foreign women. For more information on Foreign Brides eZine

Centuries old Wedding traditions and wonderful Philippine customs make Filipina Weddings (Kasalan) some of the most beautiful wondrous celebrations on earth. The Filipino culture’s high regard for the sanctity of Marriage has given the Philippine Wedding Ceremony many customs and traditions that will be new to Americans.
In the traditional Filipina Wedding the groom is expected to burden all of the cost as opposed to American traditions were it is the Bride’s family that is responsible for wedding expenses. This has given way slightly to some couples sharing the cost as some couples now do in the United States. A few costs that will seem unexpected to Americans but are in keeping with Filipino Wedding traditions are:
Hotel rooms for valued guest that journey from distant islands to attend your Wedding. In my case it was the VIPs such as my Filipino wife’s eldest brother and her Maid of honor.
Transportation for all those who are to attend locally. We rented a large “Power Cruiser” (Bus) or what would be a fully customized bus complete with sound system and custom paint.
Bride’s Maids dresses and Barongs for the groom’s men are usually available for rent at the Wedding boutiques. Unlike in the US where many of the Bride’s maids will purchase their own dress to keep after the Wedding, in the Philippines some will not be able to afford the expense and instead opt to rent them.
A Filipina bride wears her wedding ring on the right hand and not the left as in the United States. For the Filipina, the Bible has stated “the Son sits at the right hand of the Father”. So she will sit on the left and wear her ring on the right. This tradition completely blindsided me as I had already presented my fiance with a beautiful engagement set and placed it on her left ring finger. Just 4 days before the wedding she explained to me I would need to buy her a wedding ring now for her right hand.
In these services, the agency provides the photos and descriptions of the women, who are not charged for this listing. Men who
wish to obtain the mailing address of any of the women they would like to contact are charged a fee of from $2 to $5 for each of the mailing addresses
The other way to contact potential spouses is through e-mail "pen-pal" clubs. These services are generally free of charge. In them, men and women provide biographical data, an e-mail address,
and an indication of what type of relationship they seek.
The women are obtained through advertisements in local newspapers and popular women's magazines and, most commonly, through word of mouth.
