Was Carolyn Bessette late to her wedding? The truth about her dress

Episode 6 of FX’s “Love Story” recreates the September 1996 wedding of titular characters John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette on Georgia’s secluded Cumberland Island.
The "Love Story" production team put forth every effort to mimic the couple's wedding venue, the First African Baptist Church, which was erected in 1893, including using antique wood. True to life, they filmed the wedding by candlelight, creator Connor Hines says, as the church did not have electricity. Of course, the pair's wedded bliss was short lived; they perished (along with Carolyn's sister Lauren) on July 16, 1999, when a plane piloted by Kennedy Jr. crashed.
Kennedy Jr.’s nephew and congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg recently ripped the series starring Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon (Thursdays at 9 ET/PT and streaming on Hulu) in an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning."
“I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind,” Schlossberg said, “and that's a capital 'F' for fiction.” Here, we analyze the episode to help you separate fact from fantasy.
At the scripted rehearsal dinner, Carolyn’s mom Ann Messina Freeman (Constance Zimmer) discards a prepared speech in exchange for improvised remarks. She remembers how a younger Carolyn once sat with a girl on the bus who was alone, instead of her friends.
