For this story, I could rewrite it as a Shallow Hal type of story line. The daughter wants to marry the perfect dreamy guy, turning down anyone else that doesn't meet her expectations. One day, a strange man shows up and she falls for him, and everyone else is unsure as to why she likes him as he is even uglier than all the other men, but she doesn't seem to think so.
