Honeymoon over for woman who married millionaire on TI
Bride selected on Fox show says she is having second thoughts about committing self to “strangei
NEW YORK (AP) — The woman who manied a
multimillionaire on national TV has something in com
mon with other Las Vegas brides: She woke up shortly
after her wedding wondering, “What was I thinking?”
Darva Conger described her odyssey on “Who
Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire” as a vacation spun
out of control. Now she wants her life back.
“I don’t think I was thinking clearly,” Conger, a nurse
and Gulf War veteran, said on “Good Morning Ameri
ca” Wednesday, a week after marrying a stranger in a
television spectacle. “1 committed an error in judgment.”
A few hours later, her new husband, Rick Rockwell,
taped an interview across town with ABC’s Diane
Sawyer to air Thursday morning.
The Fox special Feb. 15 was a ratings sensation that
quickly backfired after criticism by women’s groups
and revelations that Rockwell been accused of threat
ening an ex-girlfriend. He denies the accusations.
Conger, 34, said Rockwell wasn’t abusive toward
her, but she said they didn’t spent much time together.
They barely spoke on their one-week “honeymoon”
cruise to Barbados.
“The honest truth is 1 was very uncomfortable
around him, and I spent most of the time with the girl
that chaperoned me,” she said. “Fle’s just not a person
... that I would ordinarily have even a friendly relation
ship with.”
She said she was taken aback when Rockwell, 42,
kissed her on the lips after his television proposal was
accepted. Conger said she was terrified but went along
with the wedding because she didn't want to disappoint,
the show’s producers.
"I don't think I was
thinking clearly. I
committed an error in
judgement."

n’t work out.
Conger, who gets to keep her diamond wedding
and was given an Isuzu Trooper and the Caribte
cruise by Fox, said she just wants a normal

She said she only got involved because she wanted
a Las Vegas vacation and a chance to wave to her fam
ily on TV. Rockwell chose her from among 50 women
vying for his nod in bathing suits and wedding gowns.
“Never in a million years did I ever think that I was
going to be selected,” Conger said. “And somewhere in
the back of my mind I thought, OK, if I am selected by
the man to be his bride, he’s got to take it in the same
way that I do. It’s a TV show.
“Maybe we’ll like each other and get along. Maybe
we’ll even date, but 1 never in a million years ever
thought of it as an actual marriage.”
