Tom Reese was reminded of the story about Henry VIII who selected a wife based
on her portrait and was more than a little disappointed when she finally
showed up. She eventually lost her head.

Almost. Anne of Cleves was divorced. Henry didn't behead wives with foreign ties - just English wives (Ann Boleyn & Catherine Howard).

Hint to excessive photoshoppers: Henry was remoured to have contemplated removing the portrait painter Holbein's head.
