John Lennon and Yoko Ono were married on March 20, 1969 in Gibraltar.
John and Yoko had met in 1966 and began a relationship in 1968. The couple had a private ceremony at the British Consulate in Gibraltar, with only two witnesses present. The marriage was controversial, as John was still legally married to his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, at the time. The couple remained married until John's death in 1980.
