Eye of the Beholder
Mary Peters despairs that she will never get married. At nineteen, she has no prospects of finding a husband, so she takes matters into her own hands and becomes a mail-order bride. When she arrives in Omaha, Nebraska to meet the man she’s due to marry, he takes one look at her homely appearance and rejects her.
But fate has other plans for Mary. Dave Larson happens to be nearby and thinks she will make a good wife. Though she is stunned that someone as handsome and as kind as Dave would ask her to marry him, she accepts. She knows that this marriage will not bear the fruits of love. Love, after all, is for beautiful women. Isn’t it?
The Wrong Husband

Realizing that they want to kill him, he flees from the southern state of Louisiana to Nebraska where he runs into the sheriff who mistakes him for Irving who signed up to be his deputy.
Owen decides that this beats death, because there are wanted posters all over the place seeking his arrest. So he plays along and pretends to be Irving. What he didn’t realize is that Irving agreed to marry Jenny Larson. One look at her tells him that she is beautiful, so he agrees to marry her. His lies, of course, do keep building and eventually catch up with him when the real Irving shows up.

Can a marriage that begins with a shotgun be just the thing Joel needs or has April just confined herself to another miserable marriage?
