Romance blossomed between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on the set of Cleopatra in 1962. Their tumultuous relationship was built on irresistible chemistry, vicious fights, a luxurious lifestyle and awe-inspiring gifts. They married for the first time on this day in 1964.

The marriage lasted nearly a decade until they divorced. The couple eventually married again but later divorced for a second time. Despite the up and down nature of their relationship, the bond between them couldn't be broken, and Taylor said she was still "madly in love" with him when he died in 1984.
