Jacqueline worked for the Washington Times-Herald as the 'Inquiring Camera Girl', interviewing people on the streets of Washington D.C.

Jacqueline met then-Congressman John F. Kennedy at a dinner party hosted by Charles and Martha Bartlett. Their relationship developed gradually.

Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy married in a grand ceremony at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island. Their wedding was a major social event, solidifying their place in American society.

The birth of their daughter, Caroline, brought immense joy to the couple. Caroline's arrival further cemented the Kennedy family's image of youth and vitality.

Jacqueline played a supportive role in her husband's presidential campaign, although her pregnancy limited her travel. She contributed through television appearances, newspaper articles, and answering questions in both English and Spanish.

The birth of John F. Kennedy Jr., shortly after his father's election, added another layer of public interest and affection for the young family.

Premature birth of Patrick, who lived only 39 hours, was a difficult experience that bonded the couple even closer together.
