'now that you got her a dress you can send her
a matching attachment and face
slick rhododendrons you make out of paper
with flowers that never lose shape'
Sounds like the old tradition used by men coming over to another country to work for money and wanting a traditional bride from their own country. So they used to send home for their family to match them up with a girl, marry them by proxy while their bride remained in their country, then paid for the girl to come to where they are. Usually all they'd seen of the bride beforehand was a picture.
Perhaps reflecting a more modern version of the old tradition.
