Commentary for Kiddushin 99:15
ואי אשמועינן גבי גירושין בהאי אתרא ניחא ליה דניבזי בהאי אתרא לא ניחא ליה אבל גבי קידושין אימא לא איכפת ליה צריכא
<big><b>MISHNAH: </b></big>IF HE SAYS TO HIS AGENT, 'GO FORTH AND BETROTH TO ME SO-AND-SO IN SUCH AND SUCH A PLACE, AND HE GOES AND BETROTHS HER ELSEWHERE, SHE IS NOT BETROTHED.' SHE IS IN SUCH AND SUCH A PLACE, AND HE BETROTHS HER ELSEWHERE, SHE IS BETROTHED.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
On the other hand, divorce is somewhat disgraceful (perhaps too strong a word, but that does seem to be the correct translation). Therefore, he might not want to divorce her in certain places. But betrothal is not disgraceful and therefore he might not care.
Thus we need both mishnayot to teach us that the same rule applies in both cases.
