When a former Playmate and a rock country star decide to get married, it’s no wonder the whole thing turns into, as one wedding guest said, “a real rock n’ roll wedding.” The nuptials took place on a yacht and the bride wore a white string bikini and a sailor’s cap and the groom wore a white t-shirt and a dazed grin.
Unfortunately, the couple could not make it work and on Thanksgiving of the same year, they both raced to the courthouse to file for divorce.
Barely Lasted the Honeymoon
Sinead O'Connor was famous for her failed marriages. Her fourth marriage to Barry Herridge is especially notable as it only lasted as long as the honeymoon.
The pair met online when Sinead was seeking suitors, and they seemed happy at the wedding, but their life as a married couple was only 16 days long.
Young Love Wasn't Enough
One of Janet Jackson's earliest scandals involved her childhood sweetheart James DeBarge. The pair eloped when she was just 18 years old!
For whatever reason, the marriage was short-lived. Janet and James divorced after only four months and the marriage was later annulled. Over the years there have been persistent rumors that the couple had a daughter and secretly gave her up for adoption.
Too Young for Marriage
British actress Amelia Warner started seeing Irish actor Colin Farrell when she was only 18. At the time, Hollywood was rife with rumors that the couple was married. The pair did share a romantic beach-side ceremony in Tahiti and Colin had Amelia’s nickname Millie tattooed on his ring finger as a sign of commitment. Later on, both Colin and Amelia were quoted saying that the ceremony was lovely but they both knew that it was not a real wedding.
Either way, despite the sweet love story, the relationship soon fell apart. Only six months after their pretend (or real, depending on who you ask) wedding, the pair split for good. Amelia later married “50 Shades of Grey” actor Jamie Dornan and they have two children.
24-Hour Wedding Hotline
While still a teenager, Drew Barrymore married 32-year-old Jeremy Thomas, a Los Angeles bar owner originally from Wales. At the time of the wedding, the two had only known each other for six weeks.
The couple was married only slightly longer than they dated. 19-year-old Drew and her beau used a 24-hour wedding hotline to find someone to officiate and came up with a minister/psychic/private investigator – probably not the best start for a marriage. The couple filed for divorce only 39 days later.
