The fact that she agreed to marry you there, ignore the 2k need (is it Php or $?) in spite of her desire that she wants her family around on her wedding means that she's sincere, not after for a money. She thought you are marrying her here! I strongly suggest DONT GET MAARIED YET. Why? Not that only you are not physically together, you sound like you dont communicate well! You have this doubts & questions but you don't voice it out.

yes i think it is... why would she ask you to send money in the first place? I am from asia and it happens a lot there... I am sorry but when you wan to get married , she really has to be that special someone.... what if she just wanna marry you to get her out of poverty? that's not really fair for you is it?

well... first off... i'm filipino and not all filipinos are whores and homewreckers!!! my family worked hard to come the united states... legally!!!! i'm a permanent resident and i will be applying for my citizenship january 2009, on my own....

so before you say all filipinos are whores and homewreckers, make sure that you have met ALL filipinos!!! and trust me, i know you haven't....

just don't judge.... god does not like ugly!!!

it is obvious that she is only after your money ... the fact that she doesn't know you in person and vice versa. nobody can fool a person unless you let them and it's your choice why you are in cyber relationship with her.
I guess the girl was honest enough to tell you that she is poor and stuff. You have your choice
If you are seriously thinking of marrying her why don't you meet her first in person and get to know each other for real? what if you don't like how she smells after all>?

I wondered why a woman with children would promise to marry someone without ever meeting face to face -

If she would be alone, you're both adults; with children, I personally would be more cautious.
