Kiss And Tell : Your Love Stories...
Each of our own love story is unique. Some have multiple stories to tell...romantic, funny, tragic, painful...unique stories that we mostly treasure in our hearts and memories...that tend to put a smile on our faces when remembering them.Here are some famous love stories in history:
Romeo and Juliet
Tragic love between Romeo and Juliet whose families despise each other and prevent the lovers to be together.Romeo committed suicide for mistakenly believing that Juliet is dead. Juliet followed her lover in death upon discovering his dead body.
Cleopatra and Mark Antony
Egyptian queen seduced a powerful (and already married) general, into a romantic and tenuous political alliance between their territories. Both Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide during the war rather than be captured when the alliance went sour when future emperor Octavian convinced the Roman senate that Antony was power-hungry and bewitched by Cleopatra and declared war.
Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal
He was so grief-stricken when she died during childbirth that he immediately began work on the Taj Mahal. It took 23 years to complete the homage, where he joined her at his own death in 1666.
Ines de Castro and King Pedro
Ines de Castro became a lady-in-waiting for Princess Constance of Portugal in 1340 and quickly stole the heart of her prince Pedro, the heir to the Portuguese throne. When Constance died in 1349, Pedro tried to make Ines his lawful queen — they already had three children together — but his father the king intervened, banishing Ines and ultimately having her murdered when geographical distance couldn't keep Pedro away. The act sparked a civil war between father and son and, when the latter claimed victory, Pedro exhumed his lover, built her a royal tomb, and had all of Portugal swear allegiance to Ines as their queen.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
The love that Queen Victoria felt for her husband Prince Albert was as genuine as her 63-year reign was long, say historians, and his untimely death in 1861, 40 years before hers, devastated the otherwise powerful monarch. Victoria favored the color black for the rest of her life and spent much of the last decades of her reign in relative seclusion. When she finally passed away in 1901, she was interred in their common mausoleum and had these words inscribed over the door: "Farewell best beloved, here at last I shall rest with thee, with thee in Christ I shall rise again."
Paris and Helen
The story begins with the Trojan prince Paris being chosen to decide which of three goddesses – Hera, Athena and Aphrodite – is the fairest. He chose Aphrodite because in return she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world. And the most beautiful woman was Helen of Sparta who, however, was married to King Menelaus. A few years later, Paris went to Sparta and took Helen to Troy by which he triggered the Trojan War.
Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde, lovers and criminals who traveled the Central United States during the Great Depression were not considered as romantic back then as they are today. Their gang was responsible for at least nine police officer and several civilian deaths. It is unsure how the couple met but it is thought that it was love at a first sight. When Bonnie and Clyde met (probably in 1930), the latter already had a criminal record but that obviously did not bother Bonnie. She decided to join him in his criminal undertakings and stayed with him until the very end. They were ambushed by the police in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in 1934 and killed. The couple wanted to be buried together but Bonnie’s family did not allow it.

I also have a couple of love stories of my own but best to leave them where they belong. .in the past.
I meant Bill...Hillary's ex- who are you talking about you?
you mean online love stories? that LDR thing? That's hilarious
What would be the title of your story?
Yes, Thelma and Louise...one of my favorite movie
Love Story is a very sad movie...nice one but I'm sure your own love story is the one that's dear to your heart...nothing's wrong with reminiscing
I'm sure they were meant to be...just not forever happens to all of us...nothing lasts forever
you've just piqued my curiosity...what went wrong?
Nothing went wrong, as such, I ended things because I thought we'd gone as far as we could. I was fairly newly divorced, with a small child, he was 6 years younger but it seemed a bigger gap. I was grown up, he wasn't! Part of what made him such fun also made him the worst person to be a stepdad, for example. And he was wayyyy too goodlooking, hahaha.
Ironically he then dated a woman older than me for a few years, even married a woman my age. He just liked women in their thirties.
He still does.... Like I said, we each think the other has completely missed the point of love. I do have a soft spot for charmers with no bottom whatsoever, but they aren't keepers.
One thing that always amazes me when I am in a graveyard.
All the headstones are to loving husbands and wonderful fathers.
Where are the wife beaters and child battered buried?
(Same goes for women by the way)
Honest tombstones, yikes. Hope I don't get the first.
I'm thinking mine would be on the lines of 'if you listen carefully, you can still hear her talking'
graveyards and headstone...yeah, your mind works in a very mysterious way
but you're right where are those bad persons buried?
you can tell me now...don't hold back...go on..
if you have that on your tombstone, people will lay their ears closer to you grave...many will be interested to know what message you're trying to tell them...
mine will be very simple:
" Here lies Fruitloop...see her when you get there"
"I'll be back. .."
