Marylebone Register Office, London

Ah, the Old Marylebone Register Office-London’s unofficial chapel of rock 'n' roll romance and paparazzi chaos. Imagine: it’s March 12, 1969, and Paul McCartney, dreamy heartthrob of a generation, ties the knot with photographer Linda Eastman. Cue mass hysteria. Dozens of weeping fans sobbing outside, mourning the end of their imaginary engagements with Sir Paul. Romantic, right?

Despite hoping for a modest "I do," the ceremony quickly spiraled into a full-blown media circus. Fun fact: not one of the other Beatles showed up. But no hard feelings-Paul clearly liked the venue enough to return for a third round in 2011, when he married Nancy Shevell in a slightly less tear-streaked affair. Ringo Starr also got hitched here in the 1980s, proving that if you’re a Beatle looking to make it official, Marylebone is the place to do it.

With its grand façade and central location, the Old Marylebone Register Office has become a magnet for the starry-eyed and star-studded alike. After a modest £60 million makeover (just a nip and tuck, really), it reopened in 2017, ready to resume its duties: weddings, civil partnerships, baby-naming ceremonies-and the occasional tabloid meltdown.
