Don't listen to the kids bashing on the forum, my friend. You know EXACTLY what you want, and why....that's all that matters.
If she's not the right one, another one will come along! Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia....they are all full of pretty women, and in some areas I've visited, there are 3 girls on one guy (due to all the wars!). They are articulate, sophisticated, educated, and can not find a mate simply because there are none in their area (just like in your case!).
They take a great pride in their appearance, and they are willing to "explore" the world.
But it's not all a walk in the park. Cultural differences can be a problem, and I find myself at odds with my wife some time. The important thing is that you both understand these differences, and learn how to compensate. It's not that she has to adjust to you only,...you'll have to do your share too. From disagreement on decorating the house, to the diet, and entertainment,...it will be challenging, but hopefully worth it.

Small example,...we learned to watch certain shows on TV together, and some separately, with no ill feelings. She can not tolerate the amount of violence in our movies, and I can not watch the movies where somebody is dying of cancer, and everybody's bummed about it (Fried Green Tomatoes for instance)!

Anyway, these are my thoughts and experiences after being married to a German for over seven years. Most guys in this thread are shooting their mouths off without any actual, and personal experience.

Good luck again.
