JFK Jr., Carolyn Bessette seen in rare wedding photos taken by Carole Radziwill
Carole Radziwill is sharing rare photographs from the ultra-private wedding of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The "Real Housewives of New York City" alum shared exclusive photographs she took during the couple's intimate 1996 ceremony with CNN in anticipation of the cable network's three-part series "American Prince: JFK Jr," which premieres Aug. 9. "It's almost like they eloped with 30 of their closest friends. It was very much like that," Radziwill told CNN about the Kennedys' ceremony in a one-room church on Cumberland Island in Georgia. "You didn't get the sense that anything was overly planned. They just let things happen the way they happened. And there was something so beautiful about that." Coats worn by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, fashion icon and JFK Jr.'s wife, to be auctioned In one photo, the power couple cut their three-tier wedding cake while another features Kennedy Jr. pictured with a faith leader and his uncle Ted Kennedy. Kennedy, the longtime U.S. senator representing Massachusetts, died in 2009. Another snap captured the fashion power couple dancing after the ceremony as Bessette Kennedy wears her husband's suit jacket. In one photo, JFK Jr. posed with his cousin – Radziwill's husband Anthony Radziwill, who died of cancer in 1999 – while donning satin boxers and a tank top. Style icon Bessette Kennedy was snapped in her simple Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress. The former journalist Radziwill was a close friend of the son of former President John F. Kennedy and his fashion publicist wife until their tragic death in a plane crash in 1999. The "RHONY" star told CNN that, to prevent leaks, the couple did not provide a lot of information to their wedding guests ahead of the ceremony. A post shared by CNN (@cnn) "It became apparent pretty quickly that nobody in the world knew we were there or why we were there," Radziwill revealed. "That in itself was magical, because we were just like, 'Oh, my God, they pulled it off.' Mostly Carolyn pulled it off, because she was determined to be married privately." Radziwill said the simple nature of the ceremony added "an elegance to the casualness that I think is hard to replicate – certainly now and even then, it's just who they were as human beings."

Inside JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette's secret wedding ceremony; rare photos surface
John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were everywhere in the '90s - glossy magazine covers, paparazzi shots on New York streets - yet, in 1996, they managed to pull off a wedding almost no one knew was happening. The couple tied the knot on Georgia's secluded Cumberland Island, in a tiny wooden chapel with just a handful of family and close friends. John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette managed to pull off a wedding almost no one knew was happening in 1996,(Vogue) A set of rare photos shared by CNN gives a glimpse into the couple's nuptials. The photo was released ahead of the channel's three-part original series American Prince: JFK Jr., which airs on August 9. One image shows the couple later that night, barefoot on the sand near a beach bonfire. It was stripped-down, almost spur-of-the-moment, but in hindsight, it set a new standard for understated elegance, thanks in part to Bessette's now-iconic Narciso Rodriguez slip dress.

Photos surface from JFK Jr.'s wedding The never-before-seen images come from Carole Radziwill, a journalist-turned–Real Housewives alum, whose late husband, Anthony, was JFK Jr.'s cousin and best man. She shot the wedding weekend on a simple Instamatic camera, later putting the prints into a scrapbook for the couple. The photos were released ahead of the release of American Prince: JFK Jr. 'It's almost like they eloped with 30 of their closest friends,' Radziwill told CNN. 'You didn't get the sense that anything was overly planned. They just let things happen the way they happened. And there was something so beautiful about that,' she added.

Later, the couple leans over a three-tiered floral cake, and on the dance floor, Bessette wears her husband's jacket as he holds her close. Radziwill still remembers the bride's arrival. 'It was already dark… they were lighting the inside of the church with candles. I just remember the doors opening… She just looked so beautiful. And the light was insane. It was like a movie. Scorsese couldn't have done this better," she told CNN. FAQs Where did JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette get married? They got married on Cumberland Island, Georgia. When was their wedding? It was held in September 1996. Who designed Carolyn's dress? Narciso Rodriguez had reportedly designed the dress.

Paul Kelly Revives John F. Kennedy Jr.'s Suited Bike Look for Ryan Murphy's ‘American Love Story'
Paul Kelly was spotted in New York City on Monday on the set of Ryan Murphy's forthcoming FX series 'American Love Story' in costume as John F. Kennedy Jr. The actor portrays the son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the show, alongside Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. On the set of the series, Kelly was seen wearing a navy suit with a coordinated tie and a collared white button-down dress shirt with brown dress shoes and a white pocket square. Along with the suited look, Kelly was photographed wearing sunglasses and a black hat.

Kennedy Jr. seen in Manhattan in suits riding his bike. Known for his sleek, tailored looks, the images are an iconic extension of the New York City fixture and district attorney. 'When JFK Jr. was younger, in the '80s and '90s, there was kind of an effortlessness to his wardrobe — like he could wear anything, and sex appeal would always be there,' designer and newly minted Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson told WWD. Dag Granath, cofounder of Stockholm-based tailoring brand Saman Amel, has also noted how JFK Jr.'s legacy extends to today, referencing the prominent Kennedy family member as 'one of the historic figures within politics that clients might reference.' The '80s and '90s in particular made JFK Jr. a style icon. Murphy's iteration of Kennedy and Bessette-Kennedy's story, however, already received scrutiny from fans for costuming choices and representing the tailored '90s fashion for which both late figures were so well known. 'John quickly became a trendsetter in young boys' fashion, usurping the spot formerly held by Prince Charles, heir to the British throne. Mothers across the country took their young boys to barbers and insisted on the 'John-John,'' wrote Steven M. Gillon, friend of Kennedy Jr. and author of 'America's Reluctant Prince: The Life of John F. Kennedy Jr.' Murphy's 'American Love Story' chronicles the courtship, marriage and tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The series costars Naomi Watts and Grace Gummer. 'American Love Story' will premiere in February.

JFK Jr.'s nephew slams new Ryan Murphy series American Love Story: ‘For those wondering if his family was consulted…'
Ryan Murphy's upcoming series American Love Story may be bringing the romance and tragedy of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette to the screen but not everyone is applauding the move. In fact, a key member of the Kennedy family has spoken out against it. The series, part of Murphy's larger American Story anthology, casts newcomer Paul Kelly as John F. Kennedy Jr. and Sarah Pidgeon as Carolyn Bessette. It will chronicle their whirlwind romance in the 1990s, their glamorous wedding in 1996, and their tragic deaths in a 1999 plane crash off Martha's Vineyard. JFK Jr. was 38 while Carolyn was 33. A post shared by Ryan Murphy Productions (@ryanmurphyproductions) Now in a public statement, JFK Jr.'s nephew, Jack Schlossberg, took to Instagram to set the record straight about the family's involvement, or lack thereof. 'Lately, my news feed has been filled with pictures of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a great man,' Schlossberg said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories on June 19. 'For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with, the new shows being made about him, the answer is no. And there's really not much we can do.' Schlossberg, the 32-year-old son of JFK Jr.'s sister, Caroline Kennedy, explained that legally, the family has little control over the show: 'The right to privacy, which includes the ability to control your own name, image and likeness, doesn't survive death in the state of New York. For that matter, he's considered a public figure, so there's not much we can do.' A post shared by Jack Schlossberg (@jackuno) Still, he urged the creators to approach the project with sensitivity and respect for his uncle's legacy. 'I hope those making these shows about him take seriously what he stood for in his life, all that he achieved in it. And that they donate some of the profits [that] they're making,' he added. And while he clarified that he's not against public admiration of JFK Jr., he drew the line at exploitation. 'For the record, I think admiration for my Uncle John is great. What I don't think is great is profiting off of it in a grotesque way,' he concluded. American Love Story is the latest installment in Murphy's anthology universe, which includes American Horror Story, American Crime Story, and American Sports Story. The new series will also feature Naomi Watts as Jackie Kennedy, Grace Gummer as Caroline Kennedy, Sydney Lemmon as Lauren Bessette, and Alessandro Nivola as Calvin Klein. A release date has not yet been announced.
