A Love To Remember - Carolyn Bessette Kennedy & John F. Kennedy

A love to remember was the love of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and John F. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy met Bessette while she was working as a publicist for Calvin Klein. At first, she rejected him when he asked her out on a date. But soon they were a couple, and eventually Bessette moved into Kennedy’s Tribeca loft.

They exchanged wedding vows on a wild, unspoiled island off the coast of Georgia. And media went wild. The man who could have had any woman in the world had chosen as his bride one who was not rich or famous. It was Carolyn’s exceptional beauty, sense of style and intelligence that grabbed John’s attention. The bride memorably wore a custom Narciso Rodriguez bias-cut gown.

After the wedding the couple was frequently seen out and about on the streets of the city—holding hands, going out to dinner with friends, and attending events.

And while their marriage included some much-publicized stormy patches as well, their relationship will forever be remembered as one of the great American romances. Tragically, they died in a plane crash in 1999, along with Bessette’s sister Lauren. The Safety Board Blamed 'Pilot Failure to Maintain Control' for JFK Jr.'s Plane Crash.

The burial at sea for John F. Kennedy, Carolyn Bessette and Carolyn’s sister Lauren Bessette took place on the US Navy ship, USS Briscoe, was off Martha's Vineyard.
