Ringo & Maureen's honeymoon interview (Source) :
Q: “How long have you known each other?”
RINGO: “About two and a half years now.”
Q: “So this means, Maureen, that you knew Ringo before he was right at the top of the tree.”
MAUREEN: “Yes.”
Q: “How does it feel to be married to a very famous man?”
MAUREEN: “Very nice.”
Q: “Well, I’m sure you wanted a rather different honeymoon from this. What do you think about all this?”
RINGO: “Well, you know– We took a chance. We tried to keep it quiet and we tried to arrive here quiet, but we must’ve been spotted and that’s the end of it, you know. So from now on, it’s not really a honeymoon, it’s just– we’re just stayin’ here.”
Q: “How do you think the other Beatles reacted?”
RINGO: “Well, John and George were great, you know. They were happy and congratulated us and everything. And they, in fact, went to the wedding.”
Q: “When are the rest of you going to get married?”
RINGO: “When are the rest of them? I don’t know. I’ve no idea. As I said before, I don’t think ‘cuz I’m married, next week they’ll all pop up and say, ‘We’re gettin’ married ‘cuz Ringo is,’ you know.”
Q: “What sort of an effect, really, do you think the marriage is going to have on the Beatles’ future?”
RINGO: “On the Beatles as a whole, I don’t think any great effect– as much as that everyone will sort of say, ‘Well, we can’t sorta like them anymore ‘cuz Ringo’s married,’ you know. I don’t think I’ve got that image. I don’t think it’ll bother them too much. It may help, in fact, you know. We don’t know yet. It’s too early to say.”
Q: “Have you decided where you’re going to live?”
RINGO: “Only in the flat I’ve already got in London, up to now. Then we have to move and get a house or something, but it’ll be a while yet.”
Q: “Maureen, what do you think of the flat and the furnishings? Are there any changes you’d like to make?”
MAUREEN: “No, it’s great.”
RINGO: (jokingly) “It’s a big flat, you know!” (laughs)
Q: “Ringo, where did you propose?”
RINGO: “In a club.”
Q: “Can you tell me which club?”
RINGO: “Yes, if you don’t mind a plug. The Ad Lib club.”
Q: “You mean, you made it up as you went along?”
RINGO: “Oh, ho!! Bad joke!! No, you know– I was sort of thinking about it, and I just sorta said, ‘Will you marry me?’ and she said, ‘Yes… Have another drink!’ (laughs) And we did, and that was it.”
Q: “Congratulations. Thank you both very much.”
RINGO: “Thank you. Alright? Goodbye! …hope not to see you out my window again!”

February 8, 1966 - While on their honeymoon (to Barbados).
Here's what Pattie had to say about the honeymoon : "We spent our honeymoon in Barbados in a fabulous rented villa called Benclare at Gibbs Beach, on what is now the Sandy Lane Estate. It was perched on a hill with a sweeping lawn to the main road, views of the sea and a full staff. One day we were out in the garden and the maid said, ‘Oh, look, there’s the Queen of England!’ Sure enough, there she was, driving past in an open-topped car waving to everyone, with Prince Philip sitting beside her, head buried in a newspaper. We spent beautiful sunny days exploring the island, playing in the sea and having romantic dinners at home to the sound of the ever-present tree frogs. We lounged on the beach, went to the famous Sandy Lane Hotel, swam, talked and walked, and I was so happy I thought I might burst. It was bliss to have George to myself, no work pulling either of us and no fans making life a misery".
"We didn’t know anyone on the island and there were few tourists at that time, but gradually word got out that we were there so we posed a couple of times for the local press, and then the local dignitaries wanted to be photographed with us. We made a few friends including the eccentric George Drummond, of the banking family, who lived there. He showed us around the island and gave parties for us to meet other locals". (source)
