On this day: March 28, 1979

One day after his nation-wide tour started, on March 28, 1979 Eric Clapton took time off to marry Patti Boyd, George Harrison's ex-wife.

There were apparently no hard feelings between Harrison and Clapton, Harrison, among other stars, was expected at the reception planned for after the tour.

Boyd and Clapton had known each other for many years, and many speculate the song Badge, written by Clapton and Harrison, and a later hit for Cream, expressed Clapton's feelings in the line 'talking about a girl that looks quite like you.'
