The fictional love story between John F. Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette is full of twists, turns, lust, and, of course, fighting. They were truly the definition of twin flames, they fought hard, and they loved so much. When Bessette and Kennedy got together in 1994, they actually met years ago, but JFK Jr was still with his former flame Daryl Hannah, at the time. However, there was something about Carolyn.

In 1994, he started pursuing her romantically, but she kept saying “no” (which allegedly didn’t happen to her). After insisting, they started dating, but it is reported that she was annoyed by his free spirit and rebelliousness. And that strange rebellion did not end, even months before their wedding.

Former JFK Jr. aide RoseMarie Terenzio, said in her book The Legend Interrupted that back on March 11, 1996, Bessette ignored one of JFK Jr.’s party rules.

Even today, Bessette was known for her chic, minimalist and dark style; and it was always seen in black. So when it came time for a party honoring JFK Jr. magazine George, he asked everyone not to wear black.

Bessette’s response? He was dressed in black anyway, and reportedly said, laughing, “F— it, I don’t care. I don’t work for George. I can wear black.”

And he did, as you can see in the picture below:

As previously mentioned, Bessette and Kennedy met in 1992, but did not start dating until 1994. They married later in Sept 1996, and were together until their tragic deaths in 1999 while flying on Martha’s Vineyard.
