The couple married on May 1, 1967, eight years after meeting, while he was stationed in Germany with the Army and she was living with her family on a nearby military base (her father was an Air Force captain). Priscilla was just 14 when the pair met in 1959 (he was 24), though she alleges that they “had morals, high standards” during their courtship. She wore a beaded chiffon gown of her own design, and he wore a black brocade silk tuxedo and Western boots for their Las Vegas wedding. Nine months later, she gave birth to their daughter, Lisa Marie. The couple divorced six years later.

“Jamie’s amazing. Basically, he turned up. I was at my friend’s house in the South of France and we were Googling men. And I went, ‘Ooh, I like the look of him,’ ” Moss told Vanity Fair. “A friend set us up. He turned up, and we spent the next four days together.” Two years into their relationship, the two took a trip to Thailand, where Hince asked Moss to marry him “every day,” she recalls in Vogue. But they formally decided to get married while watching Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and sitting together on the sofa. On July 1, 2011, the two married in the Cotswolds, with Moss in a couture Jazz Age–inspired gown from friend and designer John Galliano.

Shortly after finalizing his divorce from his first wife, Cynthia (with whom he had one child), in 1968, Lennon married Ono in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969—an event immortalized in the autobiographical song “The Ballad of John and Yoko.” Ono embraced the style of the decade in a white miniskirt, knee-high socks, white hat, and oversize sunglasses. The couple then staged the now-famous “Bed-In for Peace” for their one-week honeymoon at the Hilton Amsterdam. “We decided that if we were going to do anything like get married that we would dedicate it to peace,” Lennon told Rolling Stone in 1971. The two were married until Lennon’s untimely death in 1980 and had one son together, Sean Lennon.

At first glance, things seem to have moved quite quickly for Kardashian and West: They began dating in 2012 (shortly after Kardashian’s divorce from Kris Humphries); welcomed daughter North West in June 2013; were engaged in October 2013 (with her now-famous 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz ring); and were married on May 24, 2014. But the pair had known each other for nine years—first meeting in 2004 when Kardashian was married to Damon Thomas—before tying the knot. “I just dreamed about being next to her,” West reportedly said. After a rehearsal dinner at Versailles, the pair married at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, with Kardashian sporting a custom Givenchy gown.

In 1952, the New York Yankee asked a friend to arrange a dinner for him with Monroe. The two tried to keep a low profile during their courtship, and to keep their wedding day quiet, but were mobbed by reporters while they wed at the San Francisco City Hall on January 14, 1954. Monroe eschewed the white-dress convention, opting instead for a dark skirtsuit with a white fur collar. The pair’s marriage began to unravel almost immediately, with DiMaggio increasingly uncomfortable with his wife’s alluring persona. They were divorced just nine months later, in October 1954.
