The phrase, "Till death do us apart" is been taken from the Book of Common Prayer, and it quite modestly personifies the bond of a married couple. But is it true? How long should a marriage last, or has lasted? Sorry, this is not meant to raise your frowning eye brows. But with the news of celebrity break ups, as often as one in a month, many like me will be compelled to think the same. Today, celeb-marriages are like the monsoon in an Asian country – it's just so unpredictable on how long their marriages can actually last. Let's peek into some of the shortest marriages known to the mankind.
Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd, Tom Green and Drew Barrymore, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson, Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley are some of the names that have made it to the list of shortest celebrity marriages in Hollywood. Now, Fox News has put together a list of famous couples who headed for splitsville in less than a year into their marriage. To break it, it's actually less that 12 months.
Elizabeth Taylor and Conrad 'Nicky' Hilton, Jr.: Nine Months. The veteran actress, who has been married eight times to seven husbands, remained wife to heir of the Hilton Hotel chain for just nine months before she got a divorce in 1951.
