ON THIS DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY | |
|
On June 24, 1953 Jacqueline Bouvier and Senator John F. Kennedy announce their engagement. The two met at a dinner party two years earlier and were married on September 12, 1953, in a ceremony St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island. John F. Kennedy, of course, would go on to become president, ushering in what some called the “Camelot” era, named after the fictional court and castle of King Arthur. That era came to a crushing end on November 22, 1963, when John F. Kennedy was tragically gunned down in Dallas, Texas. Jacqueline Kennedy would go on to marry Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. She died in 1994. |
