You don't know why you're listening to a lecture: You've already graduated. Still, a lovely instructor is speaking.
<span class="mu-b">"The inner cell mass undergoes changes to form three germ layers known as the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm,"</span> Meryl declares, looking very professional and elegant. She's always so casual, so this is a nice look on her. She's got a long skirt on, a shirt-vest combo, and is also wearing high heels, something she rarely does outside of dresses. Last time she put some on she was complaining all night about her ankles- and leaning on you, which made it all even. <span class="mu-b">"The ectoderm becomes the skin and nervous system, the mesoderm becomes the muscles and other internal organs, and the endoderm becomes the gastrointestinal tract."</span>
Just like in university proper, you're taking notes, though you can't seem to read what you're writing. You listen carefully, but it all bleeds together, like some sort of fast-forwarded movie. Still, your serenity remains with you. Just looking at the aqua-eyed beauty is enough to keep you happy.

Meryl proposed to you only recently- Which would have been odd enough, as far as you were concerned, until she explained why: It was now or never, at least until you showed up.
She's got demi-human physiology, some kind of fish-woman, and her father is a magician. Yeah, unbelievable... but also true. She proved it, by swimming with you in the deep blue sea. Normally, Meryl appears completely normal (if extremely hot), a tall redhead bombshell with sea-green eyes. In secret, or in the deep ocean, her true visage includes claws, gills, and piscine eyes that could pass as gemstones. She still keeps her very nice human legs and curves, so there's no real loss.
Her mother, another human-Dagonian hybrid, intruded on your romantic week. Superficially, she's just a crazy lady perpetuating albino stereotypes. In reality, she's an almost alien woman who was somehow seduced by Meryl's insane marine biology professor wizard(?!?) father and was going to kill you if you turned Meryl down. Meryl, of course, was not interested in her parents' shenanigans.
Meryl was expected to help connect humanity and her people, so they could be absorbed into human society safely. That would have normally meant a ritual followed by marrying you, but it seemed as though fate helped that along. By being able to see her as she was, you made what the ritual was supposed to perform happen. Now, she refuses to return home, in case she can't return. She hasn't bothered you with more info yet.
The details are fuzzy, but her love is clear. You're not big on 'twu wuv', being a practical sort, but it's clear your fiancée cares about you. And you definitely care about her. You've decided to celebrate life with her, despite her fear of being a burden due to her origins. She risked everything to be with you.
