During her second stint in rehab, Elizabeth Taylor met Larry Fortensky, a construction worker who was 21 years her junior. It was the first time that Taylor became involved with a “regular” guy and apparently, it was her who proposed. In 1991, the actress and construction worker got married in what is known as one of the most lavish celebrity weddings of all time. Hosted by Michael Jackson at his Neverland Ranch, the wedding had a high-profile guest list and cost an estimated $1.5 million. Taylor sold her exclusive wedding pictures to People magazine for $1 million, but she ended up putting that money towards a good cause. Wait until you learn what Elizabeth Taylor had to say about her eight marriages!
