Our meeting now has been boiled down to a mere formality

If you guys can't understand each other, how would it possible you both fell in love? Have you guys met already and spent some time together?

Have you tried Skype? I've found it to be a most excellent way of communicating via voice.
If your lady also has Internet, you can use Skype for free to speak to eachother.
If she doesn't have Internet, I've called Russia for $0.048 (land) or $0.049 (mobile) per minute using Skype's optional "SkypeOut" service.
It might be the solution you're looking for. http://www.skype.com
I hope you and your lady are well. :) Good luck!
Edit:
For an entirely land based solution, USA Datanet has rates as low as $0.17 per minute. http://www.usadatanet.com/international.html
