Liza Minnelli & David Gest

Despite being a significant figure in the music industry, David Gest is most famous with Liza Minnelli – credits to a whirlwind relationship and insane wedding that made tabloids drool.

When we say “crazy,” we mean it. Minnelli put out all the stops for her fourth wedding, with an 850-person guest list, insane tabloid coverage, and an oh-so-chic Fifth Avenue location. The wedding party was a jumble of celebrities, with Elizabeth Taylor serving as maid of honor and the King of Pop himself Michael Jackson standing as best man. The bejeweled bride walked down the aisle in an ivory crepe Bob Mackie. She later covered up with a floor-length white mink coat on her way to her reception at the Regent Hotel. Natalie Cole sang the newlyweds Unforgettable, a song written by her father. Tony Bennett performed with a 60-piece orchestra for VIPs who dined on a 12-tier wedding cake. They received personalized favors enclosed in satin candy boxes stamped with the words “Liza and David 4 Ever.”
