About this project

Help Maria the Korean Bride Get MARRIED IN ALL FIFTY STATES! Thus far I have completed 43 weddings from 43 different states. When complete, I intend to make a feature documentary. For now, I have seven remaining states: Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, South and North Dakota to name a few. With your help I hope to raise $2,900 by April 15th, 2010. The fund will be used for travel, film editing and production cost. Please visit http://www.mariathekoreanbride.com/ for more. Thank you!
