拿破仑求婚钻戒的轶事

1796年2月，时年27岁的拿破仑宣布与大他6岁的约瑟芬订婚，并送给了她这枚戒指。当时的拿破仑是一名战士 ，而约瑟芬则是一个寡妇，约瑟芬与拿破仑再婚时已经有了两个孩子。

一个月后，两人举行婚礼。新婚后不久，拿破仑重返意大利前线。1804年，拿破仑在巴黎圣母院加冕为法兰西皇帝，而约瑟芬也成为了法兰西第一帝国的皇后。 因为出于政治需要与奥地利公主玛丽·路易莎结婚，1809年拿破仑以无嗣为由休之 。1814年4月拿破仑退位，同年5月，约瑟芬在法国巴黎附近的马尔梅松城堡去世，享年49岁。但拿破仑一直没有忘记挚爱，被流放到圣赫勒拿岛后，在弥留之际，拿破仑哭喊道：“法国。军队。军队首领。约瑟芬。”

:ALEXANDER

Wait, I have something for you

He searches through his many pockets -- coat, vest, pants --

begins plucking out the loose scraps of paper covered with

equations -- but can't seem to find the jewelry box

She watches him for a moment, amused, loving him all the more

for his befuddlement

EMMA

You know, the moment is rather

dying here

ALEXANDER

Hold on I know I have it

He finally finds the velvet jewelry box Snaps it open

Inside is a lovely moonstone ring The gem is a pale,

translucent blue mirroring the full moon above

ALEXANDER

I know it's not a diamond but --

EMMA

A moonstone

ALEXANDER

Your birth stone I thought --

She holds a finger to his lips

EMMA

You thought right

He slips the ring on her finger She holds it up to the

moonlight, deeply moved

EMMA

Look, it matches the moon
