@dreabeaudet2872, I agree. I, also, liked what JFK, Jr.'s, Uncle, Sen. Ted Kennedy, said at the funeral: "I, thought that (this) Kennedy, would live to comb gray hairs, with his beloved, Carolyn, by his side."😢 It's amazing, that I still remember some of Senator Ted Kennedy's, excerpts, from the funeral of his young nephew, John-John, in July, 1999. It is really a shame, that the Kennedy family, have endured so many tragedies, between 1944-2020.😔 These tragedies, include a lobotomy; plane crashes; assassinations; car accidents, resulting in a passenger drowning, after the car, accidentally, went off of a bridge, into the water; and another passenger paralyzed, years later, in a different car accident, by a different driver; alleged drug overdoses; an alleged rape accusation, which led to an (acquittal) at Trial; skiing accident, via colliding with a tree; alleged affair with (teenager) babysitter; in-law's affair with (maid), resulting in birth of a male child; leg amputation, due to Cancer; a hanging death, by an ex-wife; and (2) drownings, simultaneously, while attempting to retrieve a ball, as their small boat overturned, allegedly, by way of a small rogue wave. I, will continue to pray for this family.🙏

Everything about this wedding was great. The location, the tiny church, the gospel singer, the small guest list, the informalities, the quirks, the hasty preparation right before the ceremony was scheduled to begin, the "happy accidents" all made it feel real, relatable, and not so manufactured. So many people go out of their way these days to have unconventional weddings, but no amount of planning and coordination could reproduce the magic of this wedding.

[@athenaf8278]

I so enjoyed this very personal look into this celebration of love! Over the years I had the distinct pleasure of seeing John as a perfect stranger and his charismatic presence and demeanor were always what stood out to me as he matured. My first personal glimpse was in 1974 on an Olympic Airliner in Athens Greece . The military junta had invaded Cyprus and Onassis who owned Olympic had arranged for Caroline, John and their Security detail to board the last flight out of Athens to New York. I boarded with them as well as I had been studying at the American University and was eager to get home. John must have been about 13/14 years old and had a too large camera with a very long lense slung around his neck. Although a little gangly he was a tow headed teenager who appeared to be very precocious! Years later I was working in NY City in the 1980s on Wall Street as a Lawyer and I would often run into John on the subway on my way to work when he was working for the DA’s office. We would greet each other or smile with recognition even though we were complete strangers! John had so much more presence and was extremely handsome, much more so than can be seen in his pictures. He carried himself with grace and confidence. You could just tell he was a lovely man! Also, he was often seen on his racing bike. Although I didn’t know him personally, I felt a great loss when I heard of his death and that of his wife and sister in law. May they all Rest in Eternal Peace.

@@tundrawomansays694 Yeah, and ditto for you.

[@LowEarthOrbitPilot]

@@tundrawomansays694@kayscarpetta5502 is correct. The crash could have been avoided if they had taken off early the following morning. The misty atmospheric conditions into which JFK, Jr. flew (with only 15 hours of instrument flight time) in the dark of night and over the open ocean (with no exterior horizon reference), caused even senior airline captains [with tens of thousands of hours of experience] to say they would never have taken off into those conditions. Their argument at the Teterboro airport was well known, and had they not had “get-there-itis” and simply made the flight on the following morning, they would still be here. That is fact, not ‘victim shaming’. John was not the only pilot who had ever made that kind of a decision, and unless the pilot is firmly focused on their instruments, and maintaining their wings-level and their altitude, the pilot’s and passenger’s brains can feel as though they are facing forward, when in fact, they could be facing downward at an unusual attitude. In the dark of night over the ocean, it is pitch black, with no references, and extremely difficult (unless laser focused on instruments) to tell which way is up. It is known as Spatial Disorientation, and that was believed to be the reason why they crashed into the ocean.

[@glamdolly30]

Beautiful wedding, lousy marriage. If you listen to more impartial sources it's clear John had resigned himself to divorce when he and his wife died, two months short of their third wedding anniversary. The frequent fights they had as boyfriend/girlfriend, only worsened once they were husband and wife, along with her cocaine addiction. Carolyn Bessette was controlling, possessive and impossible to live with (in fact at the time of their deaths, they did not live together). They were not soul mates as this puff-piece pretends, they were totally incompatible! Her mood swings were extreme, and not surprisingly his family and friends worried about the union. This video is bogus, sentimental garbage, constructed around a wedding video JFK Jr's friend sold for a handsome 30 pieces of silver. Breaking News - every couple looks happy on their wedding day. It doesn't mean the marriage will last! Carolyn loathed the added media attention she got as Mrs John F Kennedy. And she hated being one of the wives forced to attend regular gatherings of the Kennedy clan. Once the ring was on her finger, she no longer entertained John's talk of planning a family. She told him the 'goldfish bowl' they lived in was no place to bring a child into. The last year of their marriage was celibate, as she refused point blank to sleep with him. He moved into a hotel, so they were effectively separated for the final 12 months of their lives. Nonetheless he remained faithful to her, and hoped against hope things would improve. They attended couples counselling, but a desolate John confided in friends his marriage - like his magazine 'George' - was headed for the rocks. Carolyn's paranoia worsened, fuelled by her increasing cocaine abuse. The Kennedy-Bessette marriage was on borrowed time, with both parties dissatisfied and resentful of the other. Ironically Carolyn had considered crying off the fateful Kennedy wedding, after their latest explosive fight. If she had cancelled, they and her sister Lauren, might be alive today. Carolyn arrived at the airport late, delaying the flight so it became a perilous journey in the dark, in which John lost spacial awareness and control of the plane. Fatefully, she chose a rapprochement with her husband, encouraged by Lauren, who accompanied them to smooth their reunion. John declining his instructor's offer to fly with them, and his recently fractured ankle, were likely other contributing factors. As we know, the result was the deaths of all three. That appalling tragedy brings huge poignancy to the wedding video. But no one should be under any illusions this was a perfect match. The bottom line is the marriage that looks magical on video wouldn't have survived, even if John and Carolyn had.

Even though the GF didn't want to accompany John when he invited her to go kayaking, he guilted her into it, and then, his arrogance got both of them in a really dangerous situation that nearly killed them both. He liked the adrenaline rush of "walking that fine line," like most of the men in the Kennedy family, and it did finally catch up with him--otherwise, he would have accepted his pilot instructor's offer to accompany him that very night that he killed himself, his wife, and his sister-in-law. John declined the instructor's offer and said he could do it on his own. That's called hubris, not "being" eliminated.

You don't need to thank Billy - he was paid handsomely for 'sharing' that private footage with the world. Rather more than the traditional 30 pieces of silver, I imagine! Money was his motivation - there was nothing noble in his decision to sell an intimate wedding video of his tragic, world famous friend. A video which incidentally depicted a marriage that was doomed in more ways than one. When they died just 2 months short of their third wedding anniversary, the Kennedy-Bessette marriage was on the rocks. A quick online search will provide all the details. John F Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette were not soul mates - they were totally incompatible. Their union would not have survived, even if they had.

What a magical memory of a charismatic man.

[@le_th_]

Back then, I lived up on the UWS on 68th at CPW. I saw him once or twice, and I thought he was cute, but not as gorgeous as everyone made him out to be. I was several years younger than him, so I thought, "meh, he's almost middle-aged" (read: 35). lol Plus, it was weird to me that a man "his age" rode around NYC on a bicycle? Looking back, it was probably one of the few times he got to be alone. Today, as a 55-year-old woman, I look back and think that he really was a very handsome man. When you're in your 20s, 35 years old and older seem much older than they really are. lol Even when he died, just before my 31st birthday, I still thought he was middle age, as he was almost 40. He really inherited a lot of his mother's good looks because his father certainly wasn't that handsome, but he sure had a nice wildly thick head of hair. I feel so bad for the Bissett family who lost both their daughters, and his sister who not only lost her father and mother, but then her little brother, and all by the time she was 40 years old. It must have devastated these people.

[@glamdolly30]

Please do some research - JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette's marriage was on the rocks when they were tragically killed, along with her sister. It was not the fairy tale marriage this ridiculous, sentimental so-called 'documentary' pretends - far from it. Carolyn's narcissistic rages, controlling, possessive behaviour and cocaine abuse (which fuelled her innate paranoia), made her impossible to live with. They died just 2 months short of their third wedding anniversary, and had been living apart for a year. Carolyn had refused to have sex with her husband for all that time, and was increasingly dependant on cocaine. John had always spoken of his desire to have children, but once the ring was on her finger, she refused to talk about it, saying she would not bring a child into the 'goldfish bowl' they lived in. She loathed the heightened media attention she got as Mrs John Kennedy, and hated being one of the wives expected to attend regular social gatherings of the Kennedy clan. John remained faithful to her, and held on to hope things would get better as they attended couples' counselling. But he confided in friends the relationship was doomed. Mutual resentment, disappointment and distrust was steadily driving them further apart. It's clear the marriage would not have survived, even if they had. I've provided only some of the details. The failure of the Kennedy-Bessette marriage is well documented, as a quick online search will confirm!

One more thing they could have added to the vows - to fly and to die. Given his popularity and heritage, his demise might have been orchestrated by the vile Bush clan

We are not and never were 'a real part of their wedding'. We watched a video of it, for which the late JFK Jr's friend Billy was paid handsomely. In case you hadn't worked it out, that was his motivation - there was nothing noble or altruistic about his 'sharing' the video and his recollections. The tape and his interview were a package deal. I'm not sure which is more distasteful - the fact Billy sold such private, personal footage, or the mawkish, voyeuristic comments of people who swallow - then regurgitate - the bogus narrative of a perfect love. Billy's sentimental depiction of the relationship should be put in its proper context: Building up the 'Kennedy-Bassette' love story makes the TV exclusive he sold - the wedding tape - much more appealing. The wedding video of a warring, soon-to-be-divorced couple, is not half so sexy as a 'soulmates whose love story was tragically cut short' narrative. That is far from the true picture. If you've read accounts from more impartial sources, it quickly becomes clear the marriage was in trouble and nearing its end when tragedy struck. It was cruel fate indeed for Carolyn and her sister Lauren, that she had agreed a truce with her husband after their latest explosive fight, and agreed to fly to a family wedding with him. Lauren had offered to accompany them, in an attempt to pour oil on troubled marital waters. Her gesture cost her her life. John and Carolyn's union had always been volatile. She was insecure, controlling and manipulative, jealous even of his sister Caroline and his business partner at 'George' magazine Michael Berman. She poured poison in his ear about Berman. and ended their professional and personal relationship. Other friendships ended, casualties of Carolyn's spiteful meddling. Billy won't admit it, but John's friends and family were privately concerned about his choice of bride. After the wedding, these tensions worsened. She hated the increased media interest that came with being Mrs John F Kennedy, and her paranoia increased - fuelled by increasing use of cocaine. John had made no secret of his wish to have children. But soon after the wedding Carolyn took parenthood off the table, claiming their life 'in a goldfish bowl' was not suitable for a child. The final 18 months of the marriage were celibate, as she refused to have sex with him. He was utterly miserable, as he confided in his closest friends, but remained faithful to her during this time, and held on to hope things would get better. For the last year of the marriage they were in couples counselling and living separately, she in their apartment, he at a hotel. At the time of the fatal plane crash, just 2 months shy of their third wedding anniversary, John had reluctantly accepted the marriage was over. This video depicts a wedding that was doomed, in every possible way.

Carolyn was a true narcissist that cheated repeatedly with Michael Bergin the Calvin Klein model. She wasn't what people think she was. She put John Jr through hell. Her. SECRET affair finally came to light

@@ApplePie.. Correct, it's ridiculous anyone pretends this marriage was anything other than a disaster, from start to tragic finish.

Stayed at Greyfield Inn in 94 maybe, JFK Jr's name was in the guest book, so was delightfully surprised when he married there. This footage brings back such touching memories of the Kennedys, the beauty and the losses, and the gem that is Cumberland Island and it's fascinating history. Will watch this many times! Thank you so much!

It was such a beautiful, authentic, lovely documentary. I was absolutely bawling when he pulled out the Bible the wedding party was given by them as a wedding gift.

Yes

What a stunningly beautiful wedding! It makes you realize that despite how awful our world can feel sometimes, true love is real, and it’s not the stuff of fairytales, but of authenticity, truth, and commitment. I pray their souls are resting in perfect peace🙏🏻
