"Real Housewives of New York City" star Carole Radziwill has shared intimate photos of her friends John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette.

New rare photos give insight into the secret intimate wedding of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. in 1996. Carole Radziwill, who took the photos, told CNN about how the couple pulled off the intimate affair. “There's an elegance to the casualness that I think is hard to replicate—certainly now and even then,” she said.

For years, the public only had a single picture from the wedding of John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette.

The Kennedys have endured public fascination for more than 65 years and in the last few years, John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy have once again come back into the limelight with numerous books, countless fashion articles and social media accounts dedicated to the couple.
