'Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta' Bride Plans To Marry A Man She's Never Met (VIDEO)

Most of us would probably never marry someone we've never met in person, but for "Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta" bride Maranda Wyatt, it's a real-life fairytale.

On Friday's season finale, Wyatt, a 36-year-old Florida bride, shops for her gown just eight days before her wedding. And she has no qualms about sharing the news that she's never met her fiance, Jeff, face-to-face. The couple met through mutual friends and started chatting online five months ago.

"The first time I ever meet my fiance is going to be on my wedding day," says Wyatt. "It's a very, very magical, fairy-book story."

See what happens next on "Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta" Friday at 9 p.m. EST on TLC.

"It's a very, very magical, fairy-book story."
Until he snores. To say the least.

Well, this is obviously perfect for television. Note the absence of the word 'quality'. Bye!

Women are so obsessed with marriage. Ugh!!! Watch out, guys!! They are here to take everything you've got....and more.

Geez. What a grim outlook.

That's what a pre-nup is for. I've seen plenty of guys act the same way. (the 'I'm gonna take everything you have' notion, not the wedding obsession)

Really? How many guys do that? Real men aren't naturally wired to take what a woman has -- they are wired evolutionarily as "providers", if you will. Women are wired just the opposite of that, evolutionarily. That's why most men in divorces don't take anything from the woman, even if she's richer than him.

If you took into consideration the ratios of women to men who have the "I am gonna take all you have" mentality, it would be about 95%-5%, respectively. From the pool of Western women, at least about 80% of them have that attitude (or develop it after marriage).

No, prenups are no longer sure bets. The legal system could put holes in them anytime. And even if you have a formidable prenup, having a child with the woman automatically renders everything useIess, in cases of divorce or separation since she will get the custody of the child 90% of the time. For example, if a guy had a house before getting married and it was put in a prenup, the divorce judge could kick him out so that the woman could raise those kids in it. The guy would be paying mortgage for a house ('cause his name is in the documents) he doesn't live in....and it's her house now.

I have never experienced any of that, but I have known men who have. There are still good women in this society, but the prospect is very scarce.

It does not matter... misery and divorce will follow all marriages. At least on this one, you will have an better excuse.

I have no idea why you would say that "misery and divorce will follow all marriages" You are either bitterly divorced or single...or that is your reality. Sad either way.

And I am definitely not condoning what this woman is doing. It's sad that some women feel ,to be validated, they need to be married. Marriage is commitment you make every day of your life to a person and to the promise of "until death do us part"or rather in our society "for richer of for poorer". Again, either way, I feel your comment comes from your personal experience.

Naomi Wilson - Goodm...,

None of your assumptions... just trying to spread the truth about all marriages > 3 months.

But thanks for writing...
