What exactly made them think that she is the one for me? Did she cast them on a spell or something?

Well, girls this days will do anything just to get married to a young, rich and handsome man like me.

Two huge pictures of him, one he was on a black long suit. It almost looked like those long robes wizards normally wear but his was perfect.While the other, he was on a blue tux and black bow tie. His hair was relaxed to the back and it was shinny black. He has his hands inside his pocket and his eyes was facing else where. He sure does know how to pose. He looked so much like a model. I still can't believe he is my husband."Ma'am?" She tapped me a little.
