The Wrong Reasons to Tie the Knot

When we talk to a new wife for our Bridal Bliss features, she usually tells us that she wanted to marry her new spouse because he just made her feel comfortable or because he had the same goals as her. We've never heard any of them say, "I just didn't want to be single anymore and he asked so I said yes," or "Well, he's loaded and my main objective was to marry a rich man," or even, "I got pregnant and our family said we had to get married." Of course, who would get married for those reasons? Right?
