I met my husband today. Although I'm excited, I find myself riddled with nerves.
You see, he is from Rangpur. What would a girl from a village have to offer a man from the city? Not only is he from the city, he is also a business man. My whole life I've been surrounded with farmers and shepherds, and even then I am often at a loss. My mother and sisters have taught me how to cook, sew, and please a man- yet whenever I dreamt of a boy, it was always of the boys in my life.
I never believed a cultured, civilized man from Rangpur would want a girl such as myself!
His voice was like velvet; smooth, flowing, dark, and textured. I even caught some of his musky scent through the sheet that hung between us. As I sat, shrouded and shy, answering his polite questions about my family and my past, I tried to invision him.
I could see his form through the fabric. He seemed large, healthy, I could even distinguish his hair- slight curls framing his large head.
After he left my mother assured me that he was a good man, and she reminded me that a mans beauty (although not always apparent on the outside) was hidden within, and a good wife would cultivate that beauty.
I could tell he was eager for me. My family was eager for him. They had many sheep and blankets (blankets that my sisters and I had spent hours upon hours weaving- I still had sores on my hands from the loom) saved in preparation for our wedding. Even if I, as a woman, would leave him wanting- my bride price would surely placate him.
My sisters were writhing with jealousy. They were all older and married to local men, they had never, and would never see the city.
I would soon be living there.
How can I be so miserable!?
To accept this man means leaving my family. It means leaving the village, the river, the peace.
The only thing I would take with me would be my religion.

Sorry comic book guy I am going to have to call you on your translation, I am not sure what it says exactly, but it has something to do with "a man with no horse and no mustache."
