i saw that first thing this morning... what a great picture to wake up to!

Sadly, this probably means they died in some awful way together, and if so, I'd hardly call it lovely and romantic!

Thoughts of Aida come to mind, hah.

That was my first impression. My mind didn't go for the "how cute!", it went for "I wonder what killed them?"

It will be interesting to learn a little more about them. Thanks for posting the story.

I agree. I wonder what their story is.
