-A- bride? He wasn’t expecting someone specific?

He was the victim in a romance scam, possibly, though the story seems to indicate he may have had some mental issues...

Yeah, but the wording of the title sounds weird even with that context.

Like he went there expecting to browse.

It sucks so much that these scams keep happening... At least the story's ending wasn't that bad.
