Today I'm heading to
Stratford-Upon-Avon,
the home of
Do you remember that I love Shakespeare?
I'm a huge nerd fan over Shakespeare's plays,
and not surprisingly,
I am enchanted with

I was first introduced to the story when I was in junior high,
Romeo & Juliet
came out in theaters...
...and what 13 year old stood a chance against
Leonardo DiCaprio?
Leonardo DiCaprio?
Not one, I tell you.
The idea of young love is a notion
that I love in story-book settings,
but will typically debunk when encountered in real life.
Hypocritical?
Yes, I know.
Yes, I know.
But this is a blog,
and a blog is more like a book than it is real life.
and a blog is more like a book than it is real life.
So I'm indulging myself
in young love today.
in young love today.
In honor of Shakespeare.
However, if "Will" knew that I was about to post
the music video for Taylor Swift's
Love Story on here,
he might just as well not have me for a fan.
Oh well, all in the name of young love!
I can hear the Romeo & Juliet song (from the movie) loved it! Somehow it doesn't get old, right :) Well I guess that the magic of being Shakespeare after all .

It's a beautiful place! I remember going there in college and viewing The Tempest at the Swan Theatre. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteReading your post, I wanted to break into "Kissing You". I was in love with that movie soundtrack back in the day!

ReplyDeletei never, ever ever ever get tired of that movie. and you're right no teen/pre-teen girl stood a chance after seeing leo in that :)
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio when he was on Growing Pains and I certainly didn't stand a chance against him as Romeo. I so loved that movie, it was so visually beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think my fave Shakespeare play, though, is The Merchant of Venice.
So cute. I love your "young love" post.

ReplyDeleteElizabeth/Pretty Pink Tulips is correct. Letters to Juliet is a charming movie.
