the Ring and the Veil
In fact, your family had been approached by your lover's family and even government. Because of your dad's connections you were considered the most worthy bride.
You've been corresponding no end, and his responses have been eloquent, rhapsodic.
You've spoken to him more than once, and his voice is like honey.
Your parents have checked out his people and have become most supportive. There's a lot of money at stake, a LOT, but you don't really care at this point. His gifts are always to your taste, in your size, his letters are wonderful.
All the same, you are getting more and more curious about this unseen suitor.
All you really know is his country.
