Nicky and Alix's love story ... The BEST EVER!!! I LOVE the Romanovs, especially GD Olga Nikolaevna, but the love story of the last Tsar and Tsarina is a favourite, too! I'll try to give a bit of a good summary here:
Nicky and Alix meant everything and all to one another. They were so united and devoted for all of their lives! They discussed everything together, and always gave each other a loving welcome whenever they met. Nicky and Alix loved each other very passionately, obsessively, devotedly, keenly and admired each other's personalities. If one suffered, the other suffered with them. A very ideal couple...For the part where it is discussed if one of them would commit suicice if the other died, I doubt it. Committing suicide is a sin. They would live for the sake of their children (especially ill Alexei). What would they do without their parents' love and support? Though, of course, there would be terrible grief. And, perhaps, who knows? - either the surviving partner could have died of grief, for there is such a thing. I've heard a couple of stories of people dying from a broken heart after a lover had died. There is a good possibility that if one of these two lovers did die, they could have died of a broken heart. But I doubt they would literally kill themselves.
Pictures of Nicky + Alix that I admire:
- I think it was GD Ella who's also in this photo. But in here they've cut her out.
All very romantic! Somehow, the last one gets to me. I read somewhere that there was a test and it's been said that love blossomed when they looked into each other's eyes (which is probably true, LOL!).
By the way, what does "Star-cross'd lovers" mean again?
