I guess they did meet when Barrayar was sort of at war, and I remember something about Mother discovering Sergyar, and Father being somehow involved... anyway, I don't know any other Vorkosigan bridal acquisition stories. But probably lots of them are boring, the Vor go in for arranged marriages fairly frequently, especially as you look back into the Time of Isolation. I guess we're starting a new tradition, Father and I. Unconventionally acquired brides. From other planets."
