Review: Mail Order Bride is a love story about a lady named Caroline Myers. Caroline's aunt suggested that she take a vacation to Alaska. Once Caroline got to Alaska, she was surprised that her aunts had cooked up this plan for her to be a mail order bride for a man named Paul Trevor. Caroline had to agree to marry a man that she didn't know or had never heard of. Will Caroline stay married to Paul or will she try to get out of the marriage to a man that she knows nothing about?
