February 24, 1992
Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love

Love & Cobain

Courtney Love met Kurt Cobain during one of Cobain’s shows in Portland Oregon in 1989, when both their bands were still partaking in the underground scene, and were formally introduced in May of 1991. While her initial advances were shot down by Cobain, he eventually gave in to her.

After finding out that Love was pregnant with daughter Francis Bean, the couple married on February 24, 1992 on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. Cobain wore his pajamas, and Love wore a dress that originally belonged to Francis Farmer.

Though their marriage was tumultuous and ended tragically with Cobain’s suicide in 1994, Love manages to keep their love alive. It took her more than twelve years to auction many of his belongings, and she claims she still wears his pajamas.

“How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt’s pajamas?” she has said.
