On September 21, 1996, John F. Kennedy Jr. married Carolyn Bessette on Cumberland Island, Georgia. Guests were reportedly not invited until September 17. The ceremony took place in the First African Baptist Church, a tiny whitewashed chapel built in 1893, with only eight wooden pews and no electricity, so the vows were exchanged by candlelight around sunset. Carolyn wore a simple silk crepe gown by Narciso Rodriguez, who was then a little known designer, and she arrived late after the dress needed some last minute sewing. Nobody minded. His sister Caroline was matron of honor, and his cousin Anthony Radziwill was best man. His old friend Sasha Chermayeff, who had known him since their teenage years at Andover, was there too, and she has said she was sworn to secrecy and thought of the group as the old guard. Afterward, the couple honeymooned in Turkey and Greece. #FamillyIsEverything #LetLoveGrow #Perfect
