Elizabeth Taylor held up actress and singer Liza Minnelli's wedding this weekend - after she forgot her shoes. Taylor, who was acting as Maid Of Honor at Liza's New York nuptials with David Gest, arrived at the scheduled ceremony time - 5pm - without make-up and wearing slippers, according to guest Ruth Leon. Leon, whose husband Sheridan Morley was friends with Minnelli's screen icon mother Judy Garland, reveals, "It was Liz who was late. She didn't turn up until 5pm, and without make-up and in her bedroom slippers. "Having forgot her shoes, most of the delay was in sending back to the hotel for them. Actor Robert Wagner was, from all accounts, furious, especially as the previous night at the rehearsal, she had sent word she wanted to go on stage first, thus making her the center of attention throughout the procession. "he idea was vetoed by the other maid, Marisa Berenson." The ceremony, at Marble Collegiate Church on Fifth Avenue, eventually went ahead at 6pm without too many hitches, even though Taylor proceeded to struggle with the wedding rings, necessitating Best Man Michael Jackson's helpful intervention.
