Jacqueline Bouvier & John F. Kennedy

What’s it like to shake hands with 900 guests on your wedding day? For Jacqueline Bouvier and Senator John F. Kennedy, it took them more than 2 hours to greet everyone on their wedding back in the 1950s. Their wedding was definitely one for the books, starting with the wedding dress that the bride wore. It has now become an iconic outfit which was made by Ann Lowe. The cost of the wedding wasn’t mentioned at the time, but with around 900 guests, this was one even worthy of royals!

This wasn’t a big deal back then as the groom was poised to take on a tougher role of being the next president. However, at that time, he was more focused on his wedding with the beautiful Bouvier. Diplomats and others in high government offices were present during the nuptials which meant that the wedding was of epic proportions. Their investments on their wedding was huge, no doubt, but with their celebrity status, it was perfect for them.
