GIVING UP THE CROWN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1936, Edward VIII was crowned King of England. However, as head of the Church of England, he was forbidden from marrying the love of his life, Wallis Simpson, because she was divorced. In a move that rocked the world, he gave up his throne to be with the woman he loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEEKLY ROSES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1954, baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and movie superstar\nMarilyn Monroe made headlines when they married. Their relationship was\nturbulent, and the marriage lasted less than a year. But he never stopped\nloving her: after her tragic death in 1962, DiMaggio arranged to have roses\nplaced at her crypt three times a week for the next twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE MOST EXPENSIVE DIAMOND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 60s, movie stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton\nkept tabloids humming with their passionate, on-again, off-again relationship.\nThey were married (and divorced) twice. In 1969, Burton bought Liz a \u201clove\ntoken\u201d in the form of a 68-carat diamond worth $15 million in today\u2019s dollars. At\nthe time, it was the world\u2019s most expensive rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news for \u201cnormal\u201d people is that gorgeous sparklers don\u2019t have to be expensive. Our cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a> offers plenty of affordable dazzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE WORLD\u2019S MOST BEAUTIFUL TOMB<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1631, after his wife died in childbirth, Indian Emperor\nShah Jahan was devastated. He hired 20,000 workmen who, over the next 22 years,\nbuilt her an elaborate tomb. The Taj Mahal now stands as one of the most recognizable\nbuildings in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BIRTHDAY SYMPHONY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Wagner composed a symphony to honor his wife\u2019s 33rd<\/sup>\nbirthday. When she woke up that day, a 15-piece orchestra was performing it for\nher on the staircase of their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you\u2019re not musically inclined, gifting your partner a lovely piece of cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a> can make a bold romantic statement, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
