David Bowie and Iman's Wedding
Who: rock
star David Bowie and supermodel Iman
When: June 6, 1992
Where: St. James Church in Florence, Italy
The Ceremony: As St. James Church, an Episcopalian house
of worship built in the 18th century, is only authorized
to bless civil ceremonies, the father of glam rock and
the glamorous Somali-born model were first wed in Lausanne,
Switzerland before celebrating their union in the edifice referred
to as Florence's "American Church". The cathedral
rang out with tunes penned by the groom during nuptials which
combined elements of both the Christian and Muslim faiths.
The dress: Bathed in candlelight, Iman stood at the altar
in a body-conscious white halter gown designed by Herve Leger.
The dress was complimented by diamond and pearl drop earrings,
white opera gloves and a cascading bouquet of white starburst
lillies. Without a veil the bride's dark locks, worn in an upswept
hairstyle with a multitude of tendrils framing her face, were
her crowning glory. Ever the fashion plate, the groom opted
for a Thierry Mugler tuxedo, paired with a white bow tie.
The reception: Yoko Ono and Bono from U2 were among the
sixty-five attendees who watched the tranquil waters of the
Arno sparkle from the fireworks which lit the night sky over
the 16th century Villa La Massa Hotel, where the
former Ziggy Stardust danced the night away with his new
bride.
