Dear Abby,
The most terribly wonderful event has taken place! The swift arrow of cupid has found a bulls eye within my mortal heart. Before I could dodge, it struck me. Then to my horror I discovered my Love's name. "Romero" , my enemy by birth! Our families would rather die than allow us to be married! I have tried coaxing my parents that it might not be a bad idea for me to choose who I marry, but they are very traditional and just scoff. They think there is another, better guy, one they picked out, "Pedro", that they are pushing me to marry. I do not want to hurt my parents or get my love in trouble. Indeed, it is a perilous situation, please help me Abby. --Clueless in Verona
Unfortunately, there are few options acquirable for thee in this calamitous misfortune. May I recommend you confront her family and attempt to form an alliance between the two. If an alliance is not attainable, thou hath nonfulfillment by birthed enemies. I wish thee luck in thy field of romanticism.
