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.
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 writer for Fox News Digital.
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.
