[ Not that unusual, really. Lots of rich old white guys like to buy wives from eastern Europe. ]
One of my uncles went and lived in Poland for several years to find himself a wife. he didn’t mail order bride one, he actually lived in Poland for several years while he looked for one and learned the language and they have been married for over 20 years and very happily at that.

Well, God love the guy - sounds like he made a plan and stuck with it. Good for them.
