I don't recall this picture you had but speaking only as a man, I can understand your reasoning in what you want in a wife. In no way am I judging you for your criteria. To each his own. But it could have had the very effect on males here that you did not want it to have.
Anyway, having been married going on 20 years I think I've earned the right to say this: tempus fugit. Whatever your wife looks like when you marry her, she won't stay that way for long. If her looks are what had the most meaning to you, prepare to be disappointed, then tempted, sooner or later.
However, the sooner you learn to truly love her for her, and not for her looks...maybe even despite her looks...and the more she loves you for you, the more vivacious and attractive she will remain even as "the flower fades." You'll be less tempted to look at others despite the fading. We males can't imagine that when we're young but world class physical beauty, which WILL end, is FAR outweighed by an average, plain or even homely wife with a godly personality. THAT'S the long game.
Besides...the more attractive she is, the more liable she may be to vanity and other temptations that accompany her beauty. So maybe you dodged a bullet?
In short, take the man's advice.

Very wise....and I thought of that song myself.
To say nothing of the fact that some serious accident could erase anyone's outer beauty in a heartbeat.
