Can you believe that?»Johnson said she was wearing a «beautiful, burgundy, crushed-velvet tunic top» atop the pants, while Cale was dressed in a black canvas suit she'd made for him.She continued, «The rule was, you could not do anything in pants.
You couldn't go to a restaurant in pants, uptown. You couldn't get married in pants.»So, Johnson had a simple solution — she took them off!«So, what was really funny, was I was wearing a crotch-length, little tunic top,» Johnson said. «So, right in front of the judge, I said, 'I'm not gonna go home to change.
I'll just take my pants off.' So, I got married in this tiny, tiny, little velvet tunic.»«The idea that there were rules like that,» she scoffed.The quick clip featured photos from the wedding, with a then-brunette Johnson smiling alongside the rock star.Johnson and Cale were married until 1971.
