Rare JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette Wedding Photos Surface Ahead of CNN series

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's secret wedding in 1996 on Georgia's Cumberland Island was an intimate affair attended by close family and friends, with many guests unaware they were at a wedding until the last moment. The ceremony featured understated elegance, notably Bessette-Kennedy's iconic Narciso Rodriguez slip dress, and was captured in rare photos by Carole Radziwill, JFK Jr.'s cousin's wife, who documented the event on an Instamatic camera. The couple's private nuptials have become legendary, symbolizing both a rejection of media frenzy and a new standard of bridal style. Their lives and legacy, blending glamour and tragedy, continue to captivate the public, as explored in the new three-part CNN documentary series "American Prince: JFK Jr.", which includes interviews with close friends and family and delves into JFK Jr.'s search for purpose amid public fascination. The series also highlights JFK Jr.'s professional endeavors, including the launch of his political magazine George, which merged politics and celebrity culture. The enduring allure of the Kennedys is further reflected in cultural tributes such as fashion inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the preservation of JFK Jr.'s legacy in media and public memory.
