Micheal Jackson: Remembering the King of Pop

 

With everyone paying tribute to the legend that is Michael Jackson, it only seemed appropriate to take a look back on his weddings - after all, his life was as fascinating as his career.

 

Who can forget Jackson's nuptials with Lisa Marie Presley in the Dominican Republic in May 1994? When the King of Pop married the daughter of the King (of rock 'n' roll), the whole world was stunned.

People magazine reported that a short wedding ceremony was held at a resort in the town of La Romana, with the bride wearing a tight beige strapless dress instead of a wedding gown - and the groom sporting a ponytail and lipstick.

Amid much speculation, the high-profile nuptials were kept quiet until August, when Presley released a statement saying, "I am very much in love with Michael. I dedicate my life to being his wife." Alas, the pair divorced less than two years later, in January 1996.

Later that year, Jackson tied the knot again with Debbie Rowe in Sydney, Australia, after presenting her with a 2.13-carat round-cut diamond engagement ring.

There are few details available about the ceremony, which took place at the Sheraton on the Park Hotel. But it seemed that married life was not the right fit for Jackson - he and Rowe divorced in 1999.
