American businesswoman, philanthropist, and daughter of the former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson had her wedding in 1966. Her marriage to the Air National Guardsman, Pat Nugent, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. was attended by many important people and state officials.
There were 700 guests and the bridesmaids wore bright pink matching outfits with full-length veils (those, of course, were also pink.)
Burton and Taylor
The first of their two marriages, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor wed in 1964. Taylor wore a bright yellow dress with a beautiful floral headdress.
They were divorced in 1974 but fortunately rekindled things in 1975 and eventually remarried each other.
Annette Funicello and Jack Gilardi
Annette Funicello, a famous singer, and actress at the time wed her agent Jack Gilardi on January 9, 1965.
Their marriage lasted from 1965 until 1981. They had three kids: Gina, Jack Jr., and Jason.
Elvis and Priscilla
The King of Rock and Roll had his big day on May 1, 1967, when he married the lovely Priscilla Beaulieu. He was 32 at the time and she was 21.
Millions of young girls' dreams were dashed that day. Their cake was said to cost $3,200 which is roughly $22,000 today.
The Honeymoon Era
If extravagant weddings weren't enough, by 1968, newlywed couples were jetting off to exotic destinations where they would enjoy their romantic honeymoons.
This was made possible when the 747 Jumbo Jet allowed affordable long-distance traveling.
