Because your wedding gown inspiration is in the stars. 1. Lulu and Maurice Gibb, 1969 Singers Lulu and Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees were basically '70s pop music royalty, which is why their bizarre wedding outfits make total sense. Keystone / Getty Images 2. Audrey Hepburn and Andrea Dotti, 1969 Hepburn married Dotti, an Italian psychologist, in this gorgeous empire waist getup. The marriage lasted 13 years and the couple had one child together and Audrey Hepburn is totally perfect. Getty Images 3. Liza Minnelli and Peter Allen, 1967 Liza was just 21 when she married her mother Judy Garland's protegé, Peter Allen. The marriage lasted seven years, though Minnelli told The Advocate, "I married Peter and he didn't tell me he was gay. Everyone knew but me. And I found out... well, let me put it this way: I'll never surprise anybody coming home as long as I live. I call first!" Silver Screen Collection / Getty Images 4. Jane Fonda and Roger Vadim, 1965 Director Roger Vadim and Fonda were apparently way into group sex and threesomes. Their marriage lasted eight years and the making of the movie Barbarella before she divorced him and married activist Tom Hayden. Getty Images 5. George Harrison and Patti Boyd, 1966 Beatle George Harrison and consummate muse Patti Boyd (the inspiration for the Beatles' "Something" and "I Need You," and Eric Clapton's "Layla") married in adorable matching suits. Getty Images 6. Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, 1956 Look how happy these two look, right? WRONG. Actors Reynolds and Fisher were married for just four years before he stepped out on her with Elizabeth Taylor and became Taylor's fourth husband. But! Taylor and Reynolds later made up and even made a movie — These Old Broads — together. Getty Images 7. Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer, 1954 For Hepburn's first marriage to fellow actor Mel Ferrer, she wore a ballerina-style Balmain dress. It's too pretty. Ernst Haas/Ernst Haas / Getty Images 8. Jacqueline Bouvier and John F. Kennedy, 1953 Jackie married JFK in an ivory silk taffeta gown designed by New York designer Ann Lowe. The dress was made from more than 50 yards of fabric and took Lowe and her team two months to design and construct. Lisa Larsen/The LIFE Picture Collection / Getty Images 9. Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra, 1951 Ava Gardner called Frank Sinatra the love of her life. They moved into a crazy house in Palm Springs with a piano-shaped swimming pool, but even a novelty pool couldn't make their love last. They divorced just six years later. But she looked really amazing in this halter dress and shawl. Hulton Archive / Getty Images 10. Elizabeth Taylor and Conrad Hilton, 1950 Elizabeth Taylor's first marriage to Paris Hilton's grandfather, hotel magnate Conrad, lasted only nine months, but the really beautiful wedding gown design — by MGM's costume designer Helen Rose — lives on. Keystone / Getty Images 11. Nat King Cole and Maria Hawkins Ellington, 1948 Singer Nat King Cole and musician Maria Hawkins Ellington married just six days after his divorce to his first wife, Nadine, was finalized. They would go on to have five children together (including singer Natalie), and though Maria eventually left Nat over the multiple affairs he had during their relationship, she came back to take care of him when he was dying of lung cancer. Hulton Archives / Getty Images 12. Wallis Simpson and Edward, Prince of Wales, 1937 Edward abdicated the British throne to marry Wallis Simpson in a royal scandal. For their wedding in France, Simpson wore a "Wallis blue" Mainbocher wedding dress. It's pretty stunning, no? Keystone / Getty Images 13. Mary Pickford, 1920 This is the gown Mary Pickford wore to marry her fellow actor Douglas Fairbanks. Very very glamorous. Getty Images 14. Russ Meyer and Edy Williams, 1970 Williams appeared in several of Meyer's B movies — and in his one mainstream release, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls — before the pair decided to get married. The marriage didn't last, but thankfully this cheesetastic photo did. Frank Edwards / Getty Images 15. Faye Dunaway and Peter Wolf, 1974 Look at these two. Is there anything more perfectly '70s than Faye Dunaway and the singer of the J. Geils Band shacking up? Probably not. (Also, yes, this is what they wore to their wedding.) They divorced five years later, which is obviously a bummer because they both have very nice hair. Tony Korody/The LIFE Images Collection / Getty Images 16. Lindsey Rudland and Andrew Clewer, 1973 OK, so these two aren't even famous, but they do have amazing platform heels on, yes? Evening Standard / Getty Images 17. Diana Darvey and Terry Gittings, 1975 Credit: Getty Images Well yes, matching pantsuits should be a thing. 18. Alana Hamilton and Rod Stewart, 1979 Somehow Rod Stewart wearing a scarf here makes him very sexually appealing in a very confusing way. Credits: emgn.com
