About
Marianna's Marriage Agency
Marianna's
Marriage Agency started with a different owner and name in July 1992. In
October 2000 ownership was changed to Cecil
Sandstrum
with the name of the agency changed to Marianna's Marriage Agency.
Cecil Sandstrum
Why is this
important to you? Cecil had numerous bad experiences with the large
agencies and as a businessman knew what must be fixed immediately in the
marriage agency business. The heart of the men and ladies needed to be
considered and handled with great care!
Twice Cecil
flew to airports in
Russia
and could not recognize the ladies that he had been writing to for
months┘.the ladies and their agencies had given out photos that were
over 10-15 years old.
Many of the
addresses that he bought proved to be bogus and many of the ladies were
just as bogus. Many ladies professed love after only one letter and of
course they hinted they needed help, you know the green folding kind of
help.
It felt
like the large agencies just were not being very truthful and not really
concerned with his welfare. The tours were great for sex and spending
huge amounts of money but not so great for creating a marriage and
experiencing the possibility of love and happiness. This is one of the
primary reasons that this agency only sends one or two men per week to
the Ukraine
and keeps a translator or manager with you most of the time.
Marianna's
Marriage Agency operates like no other marriage agency as the staff's
total attention is on you and your success.
Someone on
staff meets every lady on the web site. New clients are not allowed to
sign up by mail as almost every other agency does. This approach is
unique but also will greatly increase your comfort level and
success┘both short term and long term.
The clients
of Marianna's Marriage Agency come from many time zones in the
USA, Canada,
Australia
and England
so Cecil lives in the
Philippines
so he can personally answer every email and phone call personally.
Being 12 hours ahead of Central Time Zone is a huge advantage when
focusing on personal service. Marianna lives in
Chernovtsy, Ukraine
so that she can meet every man and lady as she helps them with the
fiancée visa process while maintaining the web site. All mail is
gathered up by a service in
Florida
that forwards mail to Cecil so there is only a 3 day delay in letters
getting to him. Emails are answered all day, every day with phone
messages being returned daily until he talks with you.
Please keep
in mind - there is no such creature as a mail order bride. Marianna's
Marriage Agency is a marriage agency. The agency does not sell contact
info - only the lady gives the man her info. This is another way to
protect the agency, the ladies, the men and the MMA process. Scammers
and male sexual perverts are not going to like not having direct contact
with the ladies and ruining their lives. Be aware this is for the
benefit of men.
The agency
usually maintains about a 99% success ratio of men that want to get
engaged/married and follows our process of having 4 to 6 ladies to meet
within 2 to 4 months of writing letters. At the same time, of the
couples that we know about, the agency averages less than one divorce
per year.
Why is this important to you? Results are the only way to measure
success!!!
MMA clients
are getting married/engaged and by results staying married. The agency
feels the personal service while letter writing, when visiting the
Ukraine
and during the engagement helps create a stress free situation (as much
as possible) so the men and ladies can have the greatest opportunity to
be open and honest in their communications.
MMA
guarantees you a reply to every paid letter and now offers free video
with paid phone calls so you KNOW that the lady you are writing to is
not a man.
We know
what works! You can trust the staff at Marianna's Marriage Agency≈read
the two pages of testimonials and view the wedding photos. We take
your letter, translate it, get it to our office in
Chernovtsy,
Ukraine. They then
go see the girl or have her come to the office. She writes you a return
letter and our agency translates her letter from Russian to English and
forwards the letter to us and we forward to you. So usually in just a
few days after receiving your letter ---- you will know that your dream
lady is interested. Our ladies can attend inexpensive English classes -
even if they are already communicating in English - to boost their
confidence. The more safe and confident your lady feels ---the more
loving and happy she will be. (Be very careful of foreign ladies that
can speak and write English and can use the internet) Of course, you
will be overjoyed also.
Take the
first step --- write
and email an introduction letter to us and set a date to go visit to
meet many delightful ladies. One of us has personally met every gorgeous
woman on our when web site when we photographed and videotaped each
lady. We do not offer women we have not met. Call or e-mail us so we
can get you on the road to a happy satisfying home life.
We
constantly work to protect your privacy
and her privacy. This is a dignified process. We focus on getting
you married. You cannot experience public rejection┘ so put aside your
fears. By the way, most ladies tell us they are very comfortable with a
10 to 20 year age difference and some ladies even larger age differences
make no difference especially if the lady has a child.
We pay
for your deluxe B&B, breakfast, and meeting many women in our
private office. We keep a translator or manager with you most of the
time when you are in Chernovtsy.
You may even get to go on a picnic with our managers.

What are
Ukrainian ladies like?
Ukrainian ladies are traditional, very feminine, affectionate, beautiful
eyes, family oriented. They come from different walks of life - secretaries,
students, doctors, teachers... But they share the same values and have
similar attitudes towards men. They have an inner peace about them that
makes you feel relaxed in their presence. They are pleasers, not competitors.
They expect their man to be the head of the family. They are warm, sensitive,
loving and devoted. They are sweet and soft spoken. They look for what’s
positive in a man and not what’s negative. They do not care much about
your looks or possessions. Your personal qualities of sensitivity, trust
and understanding make you special in their eyes. They are not “just trying
to get to the USA". They are trying to find a responsible life-mate -
very difficult in Eastern European society. They realize that if they
marry a North American man they will have to relocate, but they would
be just as happy if you lived in their country. They know that they can’t
find nicer guys than those living in North America. They know that you
make better husbands than Ukrainian men. Even if you are not rich, you are
still very secure to these ladies. And that’s what they are looking for
- more security, more stability with a man they can fall in love and devote
themselves to.

What language
do they speak?
Most of the ladies on our website were selected so that they speak
and write some English. Many people speak English in Eastern Europe now. Most
people had 6 years of English in schools and 2-5 years of English in colleges.
Many are secretaries for whom knowledge of English is required. They listen
to American music or TV. But even if the lady does not speak English - she
can learn quickly. One old rule is “It’s a lot easier for an Eastern European
lady to learn English than it is for an American woman to learn to be
a good wife”. They learn English quickly and can communicate on the phone
with in a month. The majority do speak (at least some) English.
Also, when a woman states that she speaks “a little English” or something
similar, this normally means that she can read or write a letter and hold
a basic conversation, but has a lot of difficulty with proper grammar.

Is this
real? Does it really work?
Yes, it is real, and it does really work well. After three years, we get
announcements every month of engagements or marriages from some very happy
clients. There are literally thousands of men who do this through 100
+ such agencies such as Marianna’s Marriage Agency. It just happens that
at Marianna’s Marriage Agency you have found the very best agency in the
world for meeting high quality women. We would be happy to provide you
with a reference list of clients who have had great success with all our
services ranging from personal ads to Marriage trips.

Why are
some of the photos poor quality?
Don’t be fooled by a bad photo. We have no control over the photos
submitted to us. Some of the most beautiful women on our website don’t have the
best photographs. Please remember that to take a photo and develop it
take up a day’s pay in many areas. We often get applications with notes
stating something similar to “Please use photo I have attached. Tell your
clients if they are really interested I will send better pictures.” Look
for more than just the best photos. There’s gold in them there hills.

Once I
meet someone, how do I get here?
The process in a nutshell is this: First you must go meet her in person.
This is a requirement of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS). You must then return to the USA and file a visa application with
the INS for her to gain entry into the USA. The type of visa most often
used is a fiancée visa. Once she enters United States this visa is good for
90 days which is designed
for you to determine whether or not you actually want to get married to
the women. If you get married to her, she becomes a conditional permanent
resident for two years, you must furnish evidence to the INS that the
marriage is successful and valid. At that time she can become a full
permanent resident.

Should
I write to a lot of women?
Our competition says that it is a good idea to write to 15 to 20 women.
This is not true. You might think that you can accurately pick
out 3-4 women from the photos on our website. However there is so much
more to a woman than a small photo. From experience, I can tell you that
if you prioritize your top 20 choices and write to all of them (and receive
replies from all), every one of your priorities will change. #1 may become
#20 and vice versa.
Back
to top
How many
men are writing to these women?
We get a lot of questions, but those most often asked is "Will I
be one of hundreds writing to one woman?” The answer to this is a simple
NO. There are about 8000 men in our client database, as opposed
to as much as 50,000 or even 100,000 men in other services. So, in some
cases, you may be the ONLY one writing to a particular woman. We
also do not advertise in newspapers for our women or accept packages from foreign
marriage agencies, as we find that these applicants often show up in many
different magazines.

Why should
I use you, instead of a cheaper service?
Marianna’s Marriage Agency goes to great length to ensure that we
introduce you to the very best quality women in the world. We employ our
own staff in the country that we represent. These are the people that get the
women to appear on our website. Other companies simply run ads in newspapers
for women. The women who appear on out website, however are required
to meet with our managers, complete an application, have a photo review,
and sign a sworn statement as to the validity of their biographical information
and their intentions. This process costs us a lot of money, but it is
worth it. We usually know her family!

How do
I know the marriage will last?
The divorce rate in the U.S. for “domestic” marriages is now over 60%
and even higher for second marriages. This means that you have a better
chance of opening a successful new restaurant in Manhattan than you do
in choosing a permanent domestic partner for marriage. On the other hand,
the divorce rate for international marriages is negligible. As to why,
read the bios of these women. These women are more interested in the “inner
man”, not what’s in your wallet or garage. You simply will not find this
kind of talk in singles bars.
Back
to top
How important
is the first letter?
Your first letter is your most important. As Will Rogers used to say,
“you don't get a second chance for a good first impression”. First and foremost,
always send a clear photograph of yourself in each letter. Secondly,
give her something to work with. Make your first letter 3 pages or longer
if you can. Finally, DON’T send a letter with the girl’s name penciled in.
They will think about as much of that as you would. It is also recommended
that you do not offer to send her cash.
Back

You mean
I can't just "buy" a wife?
These pages are filled with beautiful women who want to meet and marry
a man from the western cultures. They are not, however “birds for sale”
or “up for grabs”. They are not desperate refugees but educated woman
from middle and upper class environments who are interested in meeting
you with a view to a happy and permanent marriage.
