June Bride With a Twist: Columnist to Hire a Husband

While thousands of brides will be saying, "I do." this summer, one woman longs to add to those magic words: "I do hire you!" Single life columnist and television personality, Angela Manfredi, has launched a nationwide search to "hire" the ideal husband via her website, www.angelahiresahusband.com .
