Before Advent of Krsna and Balarama / Revati

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakudmi

In one Incarnation

Dwaraka, before the advent of Krsna and Balarama, was known as Kusasthali,and was ruled over by one great king of the name Revata. Maharaja Revata hadone hundred sons and a beautiful daughter named Revati. When this beautifulgirl came of age, Revata, being anxious to find a good husband for her,approached Lord Brahma, who presides over sacred vivahas (marriageceremonies), for advice, along with Revati. Lord Brahma told Revata thatthere was only one person befitting his daughter and that was the son ofVasudeva, the Personality of Godhead, Lord Balarama. The king, on the goodadvice of Lord Brahma, returned to Dwaraka and married his daughter to Balarama.

In Another Incarnation

When King Ravita had lost his kingdom to his enemies he performed penance to win the grace of Lord Brahma.Brahma who was pleased with his penance, gifted him the talisman and told him, "Give this raksha to your daughter. She will grow up to become an adept in mace-fight. The man who can excel her in wielding the mace-fight would become her husband and he will help you in winning back your kingdom.
"Later Revati learned the art of mace -fight from the preceptor, Sandeepani, in his ashram. There she met her match in Balarama, who along with his brother, Krishna was also a student of Sandeepani.Balarama defeated Revati in a mace-fight and married her. Later he helped his father-in-law to regain his kingdom from his enemies.
