It’s been a celebrity-wedding favourite for many years! John Lennon and Yoko Ono
wed in Gibraltar back in 1969 on the 20th March. “We went there and it was
beautiful. e outside world felt like a mystery from there, so it was like the gateway
to another world. We liked it in a symbolic sense. e Rock of Gibraltar (the
country’s famous mountain) also provided a foundation for our relationship.” And
it’s not just rock stars that have chosen to tie the knot here, lm star Sean Connery
obviously liked it so much that he got married here, not once, but twice! We’re sold!
