Katy Perry and Russell Brand's whirlwind marriage was short and anything but sweet.
The couple met at the VMAs in 2008, and Russell told the Metro that it was Katy's "mouthy, smart and cocky" personality that sparked his interest.
They had their first date in September 2009, and it was on their way home that Russell told the Coronation concert performer: "You're a mermaid and I'm drowning," before gifting her with a sensational black diamond necklace.
