Anyway, just to spoil you, no, we didn't have a wedding in 1967. But, we also didn't have a fake wedding which DC used to suck a lot of money out of gullible fans while giving us the ridiculousness of Catwoman not marrying Batman because being married would somehow "un-man" him and make him incapable of being a hero anymore. BONUS: DC continues to market a "Wedding Album" and a trade paperback entitled "The Wedding" even after it is well known THAT THERE WAS NO WEDDING. But they're not fraudulent misogynist hucksters at all...
Anyway, back in the day, Catwoman decide that she was in love with Batman, so she pretends to go straight, capturing criminals (and showing up Batgirl) to prove she'll make a better partner...
But, you know, she is a villain, so Catwoman's idea of love and how to win it can be a little...twisted?
But this time out, Batman is the one who says "no."
But don't feel bad, Selina. You never had a chance. Not as long as...
From Batman #197 (1967)

Snell: there's a trade pb that has stories featuring Catwoman in all her different outfits that came out in the 90s or 00s.
I think I read this story back in the 1960's. Was this the same story where Catwoman unmasked Batman, Robin and Catwoman after they were unconscious, only to discover that they had painted their faces under their masks to further protect their secret identities?
The costume was apparently based on the one that Julie Newmar wore in the TV series, but I don't know why it was changed from black to green.
Billy--Yes, you are correct.
That freakin' 'Bob Kane' credit makes my blood boil.
