You might have heard the 1980s’ hit song Because We Are in Love, by The Carpenters, but do you know when it was released? The song was in fact released on the wedding day of the late singer Karen Carpenter, who wed real estate developer Thomas Burris at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

However, the song was later widely released officially for all of us who didn’t get an invite to their wedding. Although this pair split up in 1982, releasing this song on their wedding day was a pretty moving declaration of love at the time.
