I tried to do a search on who were the best men at their respective
weddings but kept getting results to Pete Best links. Can someone list
the names of the best men at John's, Paul's, George's, and Ringo's
weddings? I believe all four Beatles have now been married twice. My
incomplete list so far:
John/Cynthia - ?
John/Yoko - Peter Brown
Paul/Linda - Michael McCartney
Paul/Heather - ?
George/Patti - ?
George/Olivia - ?
Ringo/Maureen - ?
Ringo/Barbara - ?

It would be great if Paul had been best man at Ringo and Barbara's
wedding. That would mean that he would have been best man for George
AND Ringo. Brings a bit of symmetry to the equation. If so (and I'm
not saying it is), the final tally would be:
an Epstein (2 times)
a Brown (2 times)
a McCartney (4 times)
It would have been nice if John had been Paul's best man and Paul had
been John's best man. That would have given some credence to the
belief that John and Paul were best buddies (as speculated in another
thread). It would have made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Ah,
but I'm just a naive idealist.

They were too busy being grooms instead of best men. Didn't they marry
very close to one another, date-wise (to Lin & Yoko)?

Plus while John and Paul were forced to be close for the songwriting
(initially) they were likely closer to the other two due to the way they
were set up on touring, since they paired off to share rooms...(J & G / P &
R?)...

Didn't notice that you needed John&Cynthia's best man:
64 Mount Pleasant was the place of a Registrer's Office. Here on Thursday 23
August 1963 JOHN married CYNTHIA. BRIAN EPSTEIN was best man.
