As decreed by providence you have met her/him; otherwise you might have failed even though you traveled a long way.

Doesn't that "star-crossed" mean ill-fated, Wy? But the thread intends to that "well-fated".
Personally, I'd like Noddy's "man proposes, God disposes". Just because my partiality.

Some other options not mentioned (all are words that when aptly used can serve the purpose you delineate):

destiny, kismet, moira, lot, design, fortune
