Bulgarian Mayor Prizes Man who Weds Nurse as Village has None
Politics | March 20, 2007, TuesdayThe Mayor of Bulgaria's village of Satovcha has announced a BGN 1,000 price for the first bachelor who manages to marry a nurse.
So far the price is only valid for men who live in the nearby village of Furgovo, because there are no nurses and doctors there and locals have to travel or wait for the days when a doctor shows up for a couple of hours.
Love is the only reason that could tie a nurse in the small village, locals believe and are now pushing their sons to look for a wife near the medical academies, Standart daily reported.
'We used to have nurses here before but they got married and left to other villages, so now it's our boys' turn to make sure we have someone to give us shots again,' mayor Arben Mimenov said.
Mimenov has even paid the bus tickets for the bachelors to travel to Blagoevgrad where the nearest medical academy is located. 'There are a lot of girls there, we are bound to snatch away at least one,' locals joked.
