Yep, that's right - and that's one party I WONT miss!:p;):evil::D:toast::thumbs::laugh:
The problem is ... I don't understand the theme. Maybe JaG could explain it?

Thank you, Sea. :) What does :evil: mean?? :laugh:


Star crossed lovers...a phrase coined in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, basically, anyone character from any great love story of lore will do. Does not have to be from tragedies. ;)

I had to look it up too Sea, always heard the term but wasn't sure the real meaning.

"Star-crossed" or "star-crossed lovers" is a phrase describing a pair of lovers whose relationship is often thwarted by outside forces. The term encompasses other meanings, but originally means the pairing is being "thwarted by a malign star" or that the stars are working against the relationship.

Brava!! :thumb:


From the Prologue of Romeo and Juliet.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.


But as I said, star crossed does not mean hopeless, so happy endings work too...famous lovers will do. :)
