I thought the purpose of the book was to satisfy players that wanted romance in their games. What could possibly be more pressing than love... true love...?If you have more important story matters, then improvise. "Sure, Rathnor, the serving wench is all yours." DONE.But seriously... I'm going to give you more credit than you give yourself. After 24 years I bet you can improvise a lot faster than you can consult a table; your judgement on that "important spur of the moment stuff" is going to fit better with the direction of your campaign; and finally your improvisation is going to be a lot more believable than a show-stopping chart consultation and die-roll.If I were the type of player who honestly, seriously craved romantic story arcs, I would not long be satisfied with a DM who relegated the matter to random chance.
