Elizabeth Taylor and Conrad Hilton Jr.
Elizabeth Taylor walked down the aisle for the first time at the age of 23. Her chosen one was an even younger but already enviable groom, 18-year-old Conrad Hilton Jr., the heir to the million-dollar fortune of the Hilton hotel chain. In the early 1950s, their relationship progressed rapidly: after meeting in a nightclub, the couple announced their engagement just two months later. The wedding was lavish, attended by 700 guests, and the bridal gown was sewn by Helen Rose herself – a famous designer at the time and the creator of Grace Kelly’s wedding dress.
