"Among the disparate pieces of information released by Senator Edward Kennedy's office last week, there were delicious details of tailoring (the bride's veil was silk tulle "with a hand-rolled edge"), ornithology (Cumberland Island, where the wedding took place, is home to "over three hundred species of birds"), and nomenclature ("Gogo" Ferguson, the family friend! Narciso, the exquisitely named dress designer!). There was also biographical background about Bessette, the former Calvin Klein publicist turned most sought-after woman in America,"
"But none of the snippets meted out about Bessette Kennedy (as she will now be known) - her degree from Boston University; her childhood in Greenwich with mother and orthopedist stepfather - appeared to provide the key to understanding exactly why she, of all women, should have been the one to relieve John Kennedy of his bachelor status. Indeed, not even the bikini-thonged bottom seems an adequate explanation."
Senator Edward Kennedy's office released varied wedding details, including the bride's silk tulle veil with a hand-rolled edge, Cumberland Island's bird population, and notable names such as "Gogo" Ferguson and designer Narciso. Biographical items noted Carolyn Bessette's Boston University degree, Greenwich upbringing with her mother and orthopedist stepfather, and her career as a Calvin Klein publicist turned sought-after public figure. She maintained considerable privacy over several years despite widely published photographs. Conventional facts and biographical snippets did not explain her appeal to John F. Kennedy Jr. Friends described her as intuitively feminine, adept at handling men, and strong in one-on-one relationships.
