How ‘Love Story’ recreated JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s ‘really intimate’ wedding — with 1 major addition
NY Post
Wedding bells are ringing.
The hit FX series “Love Story,” dramatizing John F. Kennedy Jr’s (Paul Anthony Kelly) relationship with Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon), finally saw the couple make it to the altar in Thursday’s episode, “The Wedding.”
“We built the church. It is exactly that perfect replica,” director Gillian Robespierre exclusively told The Post.
Produced by Ryan Murphy, the show is a dramatized account of the relationship between Kennedy and Bessette, who married in 1996, and died in a 1999 plane crash, with Kennedy in the pilot seat. The son of former President Kennedy was 38, Carolyn was 33, and her sister Lauren, who died with them, was 34.
The real couple married on Georgia’s exclusive Cumberland Island. It was a private ceremony with only around 40 guests, at the First African Baptists Church, a humble one-room structure.
On the show, they filmed the sequence on a farm in Spring Valley, New York, and it took twelve days.
