That's a great story! I think you might be wrong, too, about peeps not absorbing it, because it has cultural significance for you, and others may find it unusual and interesting, and they may see you as a "subject matter expert"! This is a wonderful way to make others culturally aware! :)

Maybe you could actually relate it to Romeo and Juliet - as they also faced parental and societal taboos - and you could open up a discussion or train of thought about the need for cultural diversity, and acceptance, and about the need for all to have opportunities to be educated. :)

Just some thoughts. :)

I know you'll do well! :grin
