Actually, (and I can't believe I was bored enough to take a look) they had met - he just asked her father's permission to write and court her. A bit old fashioned and more of a southern mentality, but not a big deal.
However, it definitely sounds like she's a fundamentalist evangelical -- probably southern baptist. THAT is scary.
I work with a Baptist preacher and his wife and they are cool people, but you get in with those fundamentalist evangelicals and we're talking major wackos (i.e. Palin).
