I adore this song, especially the way Mckennitt sings it. Such sweet melancholy. It's so mysterious. I never really understood most of what she was saying until I read the lyrics, and it just gave me chills.
"It will not be long my love, till our wedding day..."

I think it's implied (in various versions) that they never do get married.
