John Lennon and Yoko Ono

John Lennon and Yoko Ono famously married in 1969, and their honeymoon was one of the most unconventional in history. Rather than taking a traditional trip to a romantic location, they instead decided to stage a week-long “bed-in for peace” at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel. During the bed-in, John and Yoko invited journalists and photographers to come to their hotel room, where they would discuss their philosophy of peace and love while lying in bed.

The bed-in attracted worldwide media attention and helped to cement John and Yoko’s status as symbols of the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Although their honeymoon was unconventional, it was a reflection of their shared values and commitment to using their platform as public figures to promote peace and social change.
