Then-Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts married Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on this day in history, Sept. 12, 1953, in Newport, Rhode Island. Over 800 guests attended the church ceremony.
Bourvier’s veil, worn first by her grandmother, was draped from a tiara of lace and orange blossoms and she also wore a choker of pearls and a diamond bracelet that was a gift from Kennedy. A guest was quoted as saying the wedding was "just like a coronation." The first lady wanted her husband's grave site to be widely accessible to the American public. Erica Lamberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.
"The bride’s bouquet was of pink and white spray orchids and gardenias," the same source recounted.
