Reporter Jacqueline Bouvier met U.S. Representative John F. Kennedy at a dinner party in May of 1952. He proposed to her in November of that year. She took a work trip to Europe to make up her mind. When she returned a month later, she accepted, and the couple wed the following year. They had four children, John Jr., Caroline, Arabella and Patrick, the latter two dying at a young age. As first lady during John’s short-lived presidency, Jacqueline restored the White House and became internationally renowned on her various trips.
