Pattie Boyd and George Harrison
Although George Harrison was known as the “quiet Beatle,” he wasn’t so quiet when it came to matters of the heart. Harrison asked 19-year-old Pattie Boyd to marry him the day that he met her. She obviously (well, not so obvious, we’re talking about rock stars here), turned him down but agreed to go on a date with him.

The two fell in love and married in January 1966 at the Epsom town hall in Surrey, England. “I bought a Mary Quant pinky-red shot-silk dress, which came to just above the knee, and I wore it with creamy stockings and pointy red shoes,” Boyd wrote in her 2007 memoir. Unfortunately, Harrison had many extra-marital affairs, which led to the couple’s divorce in 1974.
