January 14: At 1:46 p.m. Marilyn marries Joe DiMaggio. She gives Harry Brand, publicity director at Fox, only one hour's notice, but one hundred reporters still manage to make it to the lobby and corridor of San Francisco's Town Hall, where the marriage takes place. Only a few of Joe's friends and family are present. Marilyn brings no guests to the three-minute ceremony. Photographs show Marilyn wearing a dark brown woolen suit with an ermine collar, holding three orchids in her hand. By the time the ceremony ends, an estimated two hundred photographers and three hundred fans crowd around Joe and Marilyn as the couple jumps into Joe's night blue Cadillac. The couple spends their wedding night at the Hot Springs Hotel in Paso Robles, California.
