...Lutyens never taught his wife to understand his architecture. The humorless Emily, meanwhile, showed no interest in her husband's work and was unable to persuade him that any of her passions - literature, feminism, theosophy (an occult religion), pacifism - was worthwhile. Her "litany of grievances" began on her honeymoon and never ceased. Sex was an issue from day one and came to a complete halt some time between 1911-14. Ambitious and blinkered, Emily, the daughter of a Viceroy of India, sought out heroes. Her husband, with his obscure origins and shameless pursuit of the rich and powerful, was never...
...across the 13 km of water separating them.

Spain and Morocco have been, well, on the rocks ever since a brief honeymoon after Mohammed VI replaced his father, the dictatorial Hassan II, in 1999.

...turn on the television lately without hearing news of LIZA MINNELLI. Depending on one's point of view, this may or may not be cause for celebration. Days after her March wedding, Minnelli, 56, and her curiously well-preserved new husband David Gest, 48, thwarted a mugging on their honeymoon in London. Last week she opened her new show at the Royal Albert Hall, impressing critics by belting out standards and dancing energetically. But on the same day, she was named in a lawsuit brought by her stepmother Lee Anderson Minnelli, 94, who was married to Liza's father Vincente...
