"From March 25 to March 31, 1969, Lennon and Ono held their first Bed-In in suite 702 of the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam. Shortly before that, they were married and they thought that with this action they could use the attention their marriage attracted to promote world peace. In the Amsterdam Hilton, the young couple indeed spent the entire time in bed, with the press present."
