It was during this time that Jackie met the young senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy. They were married on September 12, 1953 at St. Mary?s Church in Newport. Outside the church stood a crowd of 3,000 on-lookers trying to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds. The wedding reception at Hammersmith Farm was attended by 1,200 guests. The Hammersmith Farm was nearby the Auchincloss estate and was a place filled with happy memories for Jackie of the summers she spent there with her mother and stepfather, brothers and sisters.

It was during his convalescence from the surgery that Jackie encouraged his interest in writing Profiles in Courage, a study of principled political decision-making that he dedicated to her. Profiles in Courage won the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for biography. The year of 1957 was a very memorable one for the Kennedys?, as their first child, Caroline Bouiver Kennedy was also born in the month of November.

Jackie adored her role as wife to John F. Kennedy and a mother to their children. She defined herself as a woman who was:
