Mail Order Brides from England?

An interesting situation is described in the WDYTYA Magazine Forum, what appears to be an arranged marriage of a man of British origin in Revelstoke, BC, taking place 10 days after the bride's arrival, She was 22 years younger than him.
It's a twofer! She was travelling with another women who also married shortly after arrival in Revelstoke, although the bride and groom were much closer in age.
