Chapel Boom
The year 1963 saw a boom of wedding chapels around America. One could see a plethora of small chapels that popped up on the Sunset Strip, The Little Chapel of The Flowers was on the popular ones and was featured often in the media.
This year was also, according to CBS as the "The Year That Everything Happened." It was the assassination of JFK, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, and Beatlemania. CBS was certainly accurate.

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.
