Ancient Egypt. This is Biblically motivated.

Moses saved Jethro's, the preist of Median, daughters from bandits as he was escaping from killing a man in his last home Egypt.

For Jethro to show his thanks he gifted his oldest daughter Zipporah as his wife, You.

Little did you know, God will later chose him to lead his people out of slavery in Egypt. Today you were going to meet him to get married.
