I Said You Were My Sunshine, But Then the Rain Came Pouring In (Twice)
John Denver actually walked down the aisle twice. The first time was in 1967 with Annie Martell, who inspired the tear-jerking ballad "Annie's Song." Apparently, the magic of that song didn't quite translate to wedded bliss, because they divorced in 1982. Maybe it turns out happily ever after sounds better in a melody than in real life?

John gave love another shot in 1988, marrying Cassandra Delaney. Unfortunately, this trip down the aisle ended faster than a runaway raft, and they divorced in 1993. So, that's two strikes for John Denver in the game of love.
