On April 20th of 1894, Nicholas proposed to Alix of Hesse once again, after she rejected him the first time, refusing to give up her Lutheran fate and convert to Russian Orthodoxy.
Everybody - except Queen Victoria - wanted Alix to say yes (…) Over several days the couple were locked in rooms together, “She cried the whole time and only whispered now and then, ´No, I cannot!´ ” Nicholas wrote to his mother (…)
On the last day of the wedding party, Nicky’s uncles grand dukes Vladimir and Sergei sitting next door with Wilhelm, the couple was closeted one more time. “We were left alone,” Nicholas told his mother, “and with her very first words she consented … I cried like a child and she did too; her expression had changed; her face was lit by a quiet content … She is changed. She is gay and amusing and talkative and tender … Wilhelm was next door waiting for the end of our conversations with the uncles and aunts. I took Alix to see the Queen and then to Aunt Marie, where there were great embraces from the whole family”
