Cher gregg allman spears short lived marriage

Cher and Gregg Allman: 10 Days

Sure, Cher believes in life after love…sometimes for a week-and-a-half. Just days after finalizing her divorce from Sonny Bono, the songstress wed the co-founder of The Allman Brothers Band on June 30, 1975 — only to file for divorce 10 days later. They gave it the old college try, though. They reconciled and remained married until 1979.

Britney Spears and Jason Alexander: 55 Hours

It all began — and ended — on New Year’s in 2004. Brit-Brit invited her childhood friend to Las Vegas and flew him in on a private jet. "She just came out and asked me," Alexander recalls. "She was like, 'Well, let's get married.' And I was like, 'Sure. You know, let's do this.'" A whopping 55 hours after “I do,” that marriage was annulled — and poor Jason admits he was heartbroken.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: 72 Days

They got engaged in May 2011 after a whirlwind six months of dating. Three months later, the reality star made it official with the NBA player. Unfortunately, 72 days after that, Kim was all, like, ‘I totally need to make some headlines’ and pulled the plug on their short-lived romance. Today, she’s married to Kanye West. Once the pair hit August 4, 2014, they’ll be married longer than she was to Kris. Here’s hoping it works, kids!

Here’s how the story goes: they got married at Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas — go figure. Nine days later, the NBA star filed for an annulment. “It’s easy to get caught up in a moment,” Carmen explained. “You think it’s romantic, but then you realize, ‘God, we did it in Vegas?’ It’s like getting a cheeseburger at a fast-food restaurant.” Bless her.

Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush: 163 Days

What’s more awkward than divorcing someone? Having to work WITH that person on a daily basis! The One Tree Hill stars got engaged in May 2004. Nearly one year later, on April 16, 2005, they became husband and wife. But guess what? They lasted five months before Sophia filed papers seeking an annulment on the grounds of fraud. As the famous saying goes, “The show must go on!” And it did for the pair, who continued to work together on the teen drama for years following their little debacle. AWWWWKWARD.
