John Lennon married Yoko Ono in Gibraltar. They spent their honeymoon in Amsterdam campaigning for an international "Bed-In" for peace. They planned another "Bed-in" in the United States, but were denied entry. The couple then went to Montreal, and during a "Bed-in" at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel recorded Give Peace a Chance. Lennon also detailed this period in The Beatles' The Ballad of John and Yoko, recorded by Lennon and McCartney on April 14, 1969.
