They left behind six children. The two sets of grandparents took three children each.JulieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152567177048853996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-77050274339456292992013-07-11T12:10:06.328+01:002013-07-11T12:10:06.328+01:00John F Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier

Now don't go thinking, "Ahhhh, how sweet." No. I am not being sweet. I was 39 when I learned that my dad was not my (or my brother's) bio dad. My bio dad was the man across the street, "best friends" with both my parents during my entire lifetime. It apparently was common knowledge in our little town about my lineage, but everyone kept it from me till long after all three parents were dead. I would like to see video footage or have been a fly on the wall for my parents' wedding to see if my bio dad attended, and who all attended. Did they have a party afterwards? Who attended? Not long after they wed, my dad (not bio dad) went off to war, so times were much much different back then. Mom told me years ago that the neighbour was her boyfriend in high school, but he told her then he would never marry, so she dropped him and married my dad - although the romance continued apparently....Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-19296312198901598802013-07-10T09:49:08.212+01:002013-07-10T09:49:08.212+01:00Thanks much, everyone, for all the comments and i...Thanks much, everyone, for all the comments and ideas.

Hearing about successful long marriages has the same effect and I'd like to offer my congratulations to you and Steve, Kate. Your wedding sounds a lot of fun, Louise. My wedding was a small one too, but the historical wedding I would have liked to attend was a very big affair - the mass marriage ceremony in Susa in 324BC when Alexander the Great married a Persian princess and 92 of his Companions married Persian brides. 9000 guests watched and then everyone feasted in a specially built lavish pavilion with silver furnishings. The money spent was the equivalent to 25 tonnes of gold and I think it must have been the most amazing spectacle!Gail Mallinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-35149659526503608682013-07-09T14:49:19.257+01:002013-07-09T14:49:19.257+01:00QUEEN VICTORIA'S WEDDING...A COUPLE IN LOVE!QUEEN VICTORIA'S WEDDING...A COUPLE IN LOVE!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14707389696466178916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-34636620194365370882013-07-09T14:04:12.949+01:002013-07-09T14:04:12.949+01:00Thank you, Julie B.
