Mail Order Groom Heaven began it's journey in the Fall of 1991. A war was probably going on then, and it was probably being fought in the desert, as wars tend to be. Because of this devestating war, women found themselves without the most valuable natural resource in the world. Men. Figure 1 demonstrates quite succinctly the horrible effect the war had on the world at large.

Dear Ma,

I regret to inform you that I don't believe this wretched war will ever end and in my heart of hearts I know I, your son, Lance Captain Jon Snow, will not return. Far be it for me to put Sandy through such an ordeal. She must have another husband and she must have it soon. If only there was some way that she could just find a man without all that red tape. Help her. If I could do it all again I would have danced more.

Oh my dear boy! How little you know about life these days. I have already forwarded your message to Sandy. She was distraught at first but I have found a solution to all our problems (except the problem of you dying). It's called Mail Order Groom Heaven! Sandy's new husband is flying in as I write this missive. Bye!

Well anyway, you get the idea. And it all grew from there. As of now we've had over a hundred grooms sent out of over 40 different countries and let's just say our success rate hovers in the high 80th percentile. Shazam!
