Welcome Elkabong! I really hope you get the feeling this community is anything but intimidating. Admittedly, there is a lot of information flowing through this board at all hours of the day and night and trying to keep up can sometimes be a bit overwhelming at first. But once you dig into it, I personally believe it'll keep you hooked.
As far as lore is concerned, I would recommend looking at [this website] which contains a very large collection of storyline cutscenes from the 1.0 to 1.23b era.
Looking forward to interacting with you (and your fiancee) in Beta!
Edit: I also forgot there's a good comprehensive look at 1.0 lore located in [this thread] too.
