According to a 1974 article about their wedding ceremony in The New York Times, Minnelli was an hour late to the ceremony, though she didn't disappoint on arrival. The bride, who'd been married once before, was not showing up in everyday white. She reportedly donned a "bright yellow Halston pantssuit." In classic Old Hollywood form, Sammy Davis, Jr. served as a witness.

Fated though it may have seemed, the union didn't last. As The Things described it, Haley was "straight, but they were friends rather than lovers." The two remained married for only five years and while Minnelli has tried to gin up some luck at the altar twice more, neither marriage has stood the test of time. Haley never remarried.

Despite the split, it appears they sustained their friendship. When Haley passed away in 2001, Minnelli was quoted in Variety as saying of him, "I fell in love with him the first time I met him, and I have loved him with all of my heart ever since." Maybe love stories don't have to last forever to stand the test of time.
