The Beatles' Weddings in Photos
So you've spent the first week of 2016 glued to the highly anticipated release of the full Beatles catalog streaming on Spotify and Apple Radio? Us too. We've played all the songs on repeat, shed some tears (of joy), got nostalgic, and earned for peace, just like you.
And while we could go on and on about the many romantic first dance song opportunities (All You Need is Love, In My Life, Something, I'm Happy Just to Dance With You, just to get you started), it's time to talk about the many loves of all the Beatles. More specifically the Beatles weddings that still make us swoon. They may have had nine brides between them, but these Beatles weddings were so subtle and under the radar (lots of register's offices to keep the screaming fans away), while still hitting all the fashionable '60s staples (miniskirts galore).
John and Yoko
They were a force to be reckoned with. John Lennon met and fell in love with Yoko Ono in 1966. At the time, Lennon was famously married to Cynthia Lennon, with whom he shared a son, Julian. After John's divorce from Cynthia was final, John and Yoko were free to tie the knot. And they wanted to do it in true romantic fashion, on the train to Paris. "We wanted to get married on a cross-channel ferry. That was the romantic part," Lennon said in the Beatles' Anthology documentary. "We went to Southampton and then we couldn't get on because she wasn't English, and she couldn't get the day visa to go across. They said, 'Anyway, you can't get married. The Captain's not allowed to do it any more.'
