On cue with Sonny & Cher's arrival, the phonograph spun out their first big hit, "I Got You, Babe," a very fitting choice for the occasion.
Cher is the genius behind all the great costumes the singers appear in everywhere, from recording sessions to parties.
Well-wishers, from left: William Friedkin, director of their film GOOD TIMES, pop singer Lulu, actress Yvette Mimieux, and Harvey Kresky.
All the guests adored the idea of using platters for dinner plates, and no one was the least bit shy about the heaping helpings.
Harvey Kreskey, Personal Manager for Sonny & Cher
"Dear Journal: Is it corny to give Sonny & Cher a third wedding anniversary party?"
Not corny, if you make it candy. Candy's a symbol for a third wedding anniversary. So, we helped Harvey plan his surprise party for the young rock singers around a candy theme. We dreamed up candy centerpieces made from giant lollipops and created an anniversary cake decorated with a gumdrop garden of bright flowers and "gras," continued the confection colors on vinyl tablecloths strewn with glued-on three-dimensional felt flowers. Our sweetheart of a drink, served outdoors by the pool with hot hors d'oeuvres, was Loving Cup - guests helped themselves to a split of champagne, poured it over ice into giant burgundy glasses, added a dash of Grand Marnier and a few strawberries. Our buffet was served indoores, on wildly flowered platters big enough to take seconds the first time around.
