The Wedding Behind the FX Series : John JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette 💙 A Tragic Love Story

Описание: They were the 90s golden couple. Glamorous, but complicated - and intensely scrutinised 💙

With Love Story - the new American biographical romance anthology television series created by Connor Hines and executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, D.V. DeVincentis, Kim Rosenstock and Hines — now airing on FX and FX on Hulu, everyone is revisiting one of the most iconic romances of the 1990s.

The first season, John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, charts their whirlwind courtship and marriage — with Sarah Pidgeon playing Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Paul Anthony Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr.
But before the series, there was the real story.
The infamous 1996 paparazzi moment — Carolyn ripping off her engagement ring during a public argument in Tribeca.
Biographers have suggested tensions often stemmed from the pressures of public life. John, as the son of President JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, was constantly asked to attend events, give speeches and say yes to social obligations — including weddings. Carolyn, a Calvin Klein publicist who had built her own career in New York, was fiercely protective of him. Which makes their own wedding choice even more striking. September 21, 1996. Cumberland Island, Georgia. Around 40 guests. Total secrecy.

And the dress. Designed by Narciso Rodriguez — relatively unknown at the time — the bias-cut ivory silk gown with a cowl neckline and low back was radically minimalist for the 1990s. No statement jewellery. No excess. Just sleek, modern restraint. It didn’t just define an era. It reshaped bridal fashion.

Three years later, tragedy struck when John was piloting a plane to attend a wedding in Martha’s Vineyard. The aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing John, Carolyn and her sister Lauren.

A wedding that redefined bridal style.A love story that became legend.
