Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, who are currently absent from the public eye over fallout from revelations about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, would've celebrated 40 years of wedded bliss later this July – had they not divorced in 1996.
Their four-decade old wedding day was one filled with pomp and circumstance, though, plus the odd quirk. The late Queen Elizabeth II's son married Fergie in 1986, and his bride attempted to indulge his passion on their big day.
Designer Lindka Cierach reportedly discouraged Sarah from having decorative teddy bears and helicopters embroidered into her dress in a sentimental nod to her husband.
Instead, the puff-sleeve dress with a 17-foot train featured hearts to represent love and romance, anchors and waves to pay tribute to Andrew's career in the Royal Navy, and **** blebees and thistles representing motifs from the Ferguson family coat of arms.
The couple's initials "A" and "S" were also sewn into the gown, for which Sarah admitted she lost weight.
