Well I can't see a TV from here, but I get the gist.
My friend "bought" himself a Thai bride about 6 years ago. She's stunningly beautiful, and a lot younger than he is. he had to pay a load of money to get her - e.g. 2 trips over to Thailand to meet her parents, etc. Then he paid for a ceremony there, plus gave money to her parents. He brought her back here and they had another blessing that cost an arm and a leg - and he sends money back to her family every month!!
