Brangelina Who? Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s Wedding 60 Years Later


Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton got married twice, tying the knot for the first time on March 15, 1964, at the Ritz Carlton in Montreal, Canada

According to her 2022 authorized memoir, Elizabeth Taylor: The Grit and Glamour of an Icon, the minister started the ceremony by crediting the couple for going “through great travail in your love for each other” while being harassed and hounded by the media. 15th March 1964: British-born Elizabeth Taylor sits on a sofa kissing her fifth husband, Welsh actor Richard Burton, while he leans over her on their first wedding day.
