The wedding of Jacqueline & John F. Kennedy

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier and John F. Kennedy were married on the morning of September 12, 1953, in the picturesque St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Newport, Rhode Island.
On the morning of September 12, 1953, more than 750 guests filled St. Mary's Church to watch as John Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier exchanged wedding vows in a ceremony presided over by Archbishop Richard Cushing. For the occasion, the church had been decorated with pink gladioli and white chrysanthemums. Boston tenor Luigi Vena sang "Ave Maria."

Following the 40-minute ceremony at which a papal blessing was read, the new couple emerged into a throng of 3,000 well-wishers as they made their way by motorcycle escort to Hammersmith Farm, the Auchincloss estate overlooking Naragansett Bay.

After two hours of greeting family and friends in a receiving line, the bridal couple joined the 1,200 invited guests for champagne and dancing to the music of Meyer Davis and his orchestra. For the first dance, the Kennedy's chose "I Married an Angel."

The couple cut a five-tier wedding cake, and then a luncheon of fruit cup, creamed chicken, and ice cream sculpted to resemble roses was served.

I am sad that you feel this way. Actually JFK was a very good man. As with everyone who inhabits this earth, everyone has both good and bad in them. JFK did much more good than bad. Perhaps you should do more research to find out for yourself. good luck and don't give up the faith...

I belonged to St.Mary's Church from 1959 to1965.I had the distinction of being the only boy to serve Mass and sing in the choir.I remember sheepishly waving to President Kennedy from the choir loft during the summer of 1962.He and Jackie stayed at her family estate,the Hammersmith Farm in Newport several times as president.

As far as Jack Kennedy the man is concerned, I dont have issues with our leaders and their infidelities, as thats not my concern. He was not soft on the USSR, he just approached the subject with a little more thought. If not for the russian built berlin wall the mindset of Nuclear war in todays age may be a little different right now. Other american politicians at the time wanted to press the button, those with financial interest in the Millitary industrial complex.

Kennedy Snr was the main financer behind Jacks campaign. That much is definately clear but whats the big deal with that? In todays world of politics within the US a lot of big companies fund candidates. Whats the difference, they all still provide the candidate with their own vested interests. JFKs father was an isolationist who represented America in London who vetoed support for american invervention in WW2. JFK openly dismissed his own fathers views on this as his fathers and not his.

@mindspring57 with what is going on in America right now we need JFK back shame the pathetic bankers had him killed he was killed for wanting to end the federal reserve

[mindspring57]

@ChristianWorldOrder2 Actually, Kennedy was the beginning of the end. His father made his money by bootlegging and securities manipulations, cheated on Rose, and lobotomized Rosemary. Kennedy was a womanizer. Kennedy also caved in to the Russians and did nothing while they built the Berlin Wall, and let Kruschev get the better of him in the Cuban missile crisis (since Kruschev also got the missiles out of Turkey).

Quelle salope celle-là !!!!!!

Elle a été accueillie comme une Reine lors de son passage en France.

Tout le monde l'a acclamée, tout le monde l'a admirée, le tout-Paris était là !!!!

Et elle se permet de dire que les Français sont méchants et égoistes.

Si les Français étaient si égoïstes, jamais ils n'auraient offert un cadeau comme la statue de la Liberté !!!!!

Que l'on soit amer parce que le destin vous a frappé durement soit, mais que l'on soit méchant gratuitement, non !!

Quelle ingrate !
