Philippines Visit #2:
Choosing My 
First Wife

There were cases  of San Miguel beer that was being consumed like water.
The whole town showed up to enjoy the food and beverages and also to wish Rowena and I a happy marriage. The whole wedding, including the judge, the marriage license, and the reception cost around 600 dollars. In the U.S., it would have cost 600 dollars for the flower arrangements.

The wedding night brought new meaning to one of the oldest asked questions: 
"Can a square peg fit into a round hole?"
Rowena and I spent my last few days in the Philippines traveling and getting to know each other better. I have to admit now that getting married to a girl that you hardly know is not the smartest thing in the world. (I'm going to talk about that later in the book.)
We went to a couple of different places like Baguio, Angeles City, and parts of Manila before I went home. It was tough getting married to someone and then having to leave and not being able to see her again for almost six months.

The flight home wasn't as depressing as the last time I came back from the Philippines. I had gone there on a quest and accomplished my mission. It sounds like an episode from Mission: Impossible, and in a way it was. But if I had to do it all over again, a fiancée visa would be the route I'd take.
