      Dějinami prošlo jen málo tak magických a nepostižitelných žen, jako byly Diana, princezna z Walesu a Jacqueline Kennedyová Onassisová. Přestože každá patřila do jiného světadílu a byl mezi nimi věkový rozdíl jedné generace, vedly překvapivě podobné životy. Kupodivu si toho však nikdo nepovšiml, až dosud. Obě zažily trpký rozvod svých rodičů. Obě se vdaly za muže, o dvanáct let starší. Obě se přivdaly do mocných a dominantních rodin, které se neúspěšně snažily je zkrotit. A obě nakonec proměnily tvář dynastie. Kniha je doplněná dosud nepublikovanými fotografiemi z mnoha soukromých sbírek a představuje tyto dvě pozoruhodné dámy způsobem, jakým se na ně ještě nikdo předtím nepodíval.

      A Family Album

      From Joe and Rose's private wedding in the Archbishop of Boston's personal chapel, full circle to John and Carolyn's secret nuptials in a former slave chapel on a secluded island, Kennedy Weddings takes you to each event, with photographs, anecdotes, memories and souvenirs.For three generations the Kennedy family has been in the public eye, and for three generations their marriages have been the equivalent of "Royal Matches." This book covers the senior generation wedding of Joe and Rose, the second generation weddings--most notably of Jack and Jackie, Bobby and Ethel--and all of the third generation John Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, Caroline and Ed Schlossberg, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kerry and Andrew Cuomo, Kathleen and Peter Townsend, Courtney and Paul Hill, Michael and Victoria Gifford.The accompanying images, acquired from members of the Kennedy family, private collections of friends, and the JFK Library and National Archives, are as rare as they are unusual--many have never been published, or were published only at the time of the wedding. Kennedy Weddings is the result of years of extensive research and has benefited from the unprecedented cooperation of many members of the Kennedy family, most especially of Senator Edward Kennedy's office.
