Wedding of Nicholas II and Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna

In 1884, twelve-year-old Alix was brought to Russia: her sister Ella married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich. The heir to the Russian throne, sixteen-year-old Nikolai, fell in love with Alix at first sight.
But only five years later, seventeen-year-old Alix, who came to her sister Ella, reappeared at the Russian court.
His parents, under no pretext, did not allow him to marry a princess from such an insignificant duchy. This marriage was also opposed by Alix's grandmother, Queen Victoria of England. However, when later the wise Victoria met Tsarevich Nicholas, he made a very good impression on her, and the opinion of the English ruler changed. What did it cost him to persuade his powerful and authoritarian parents to this marriage! He fought for his love and now, the long-awaited permission has been received!
November 14, 1894 - the day of the long-awaited wedding.
On the wedding night, Alix wrote down strange words in Nikolai's diary:
“When this life is over, we will meet again in another world and remain together forever ...” Their diaries and letters still speak of this love. Thousands of spells in love:
“I am yours and you are mine, be sure. You are locked in my heart, the key is lost and you will have to stay there forever. "
Nikolai did not mind - living in her heart was real happiness.
