I am not a fan if Michael Jackson as a person but I am a fan of his music and his performance. Rest in peace, Michael. In your honor, I dedicate this post remembering the weddings you have had in your life:

Lisa Marie Presley – May 18, 1994 til January 18, 1996 – ended in divorce
Michael Jackson’s marriage to Lisa Marie Presley took place in De La Vega, Santa Domingo. Many believe that their marriage was a PR stunt to cast Jackson in a better light after allegations of sexual molestation charges involving a 13-year old boy.
Jackson and Presley separated on December 10, 1995. Irreconcilable differences were cited as the reason for their divorce a month later. Presley had two children from her six-year marriage to musician Danny Keough.
When I heard that Michael Jackson married Lisa Presley, I also thought it was a publicity stunt. I thought Michael Jackson was gay!

Debbie Rowe – November 15, 1996 til October 8, 1999 – ended in divorce
Michael Jackson’s November 15, 1996 marriage to Debbie Rowe, a former nurse, age 37, took place at a hotel suite in Sydney, Australia. She knew Jackson for 15 years before they were married, and was apparently six months pregnant at the time of their marriage.
Although she also cited irreconcilable differences as a reason for their divorce in 1999, on 4/27/05 she testified at the Michael Jackson trial that “[we] never shared a home; we never shared an apartment.”
She also stated that she had not seen her children in more than two years. Debbie had been limited to seeing her children only every 45 days, and then for only eight hours under the supervision of a nanny.
After her divorce, she received a $1 million home in Beverly Hills, but had to sign a confidentiality agreement stating that she couldn’t speak to the press or anyone in the public about “Michael, the children or our lives together.”
