Jacqueline Kennedy spent the week before her wedding to JFK threatening to call the nuptials off - with sister-in-law Ethel even threatening to murder her if she did so.
Adora Rule, a wedding planner assistant, opened up in the tell-all biography 'Jackie: Public, Private, Secret' about Jackie's pre-wedding jitters ahead of her September 1953 ceremony at St Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island.
According to Rule, who was 18 at the time, Jackie was thinking about canceling the wedding for the entire week leading up to the ceremony. She even went on a car ride that included Ethel Kennedy, the wife of JFK's brother Robert F. Kennedy. Jackie had threatened to find her own way home from the ride.
'I swear to God if that girl leaves Bobby's brother at the altar, I'll kill her with my own two bare hands,' Ethel allegedly said, according to the Boston Globe. 'She doesn't know how lucky she is to marry into this family.'
September 12 marked the 70-year wedding anniversary of former-president JFK to First Lady Jackie Kennedy
The couple got married at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1953 - the same year he began serving as Massachusetts Senator
At the time of the wedding Jackie was 24 years old and JFK - nicknamed 'Jack' - was 36
But the wedding almost didn't happen, as is revealed by a wedding planning-assistant for the couple who said Jackie spent the entire week before the wedding experiencing cold feet
Jackie never left and the wedding went off without a hitch
Jackie never left and the wedding went off without a hitch.
But the marriage was beset by tragedy, including the death of the couple's premature son Patrick in 1963, JFK's affair with Marilyn Monroe - and JFK's assassination in Dallas in November 1963.
The 70-year wedding anniversary came just days after the Secret Service agent who was with JFK on the day of his assassination in 1963 broke his 60-year silence on what happened the day of the deadly shooting.
Ex-Secret Service agent Paul Landis, 88, was assigned to protect First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in Dallas on the fateful November day. He now claims to hav evidence that disproves there was only one shooter on the day, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Landis said in the chaos that followed the shooting at Dealey Plaza he picked up a nearly pristine bullet sitting on top of the back seat of the open limousine.
Landis said the bullet was just behind where the president was sitting when he was killed - so he placed it on Kennedy's hospital stretcher to preserve it for the autopsy investigators.
Ethel apparently said Jackie 'doesn't know how lucky she is to marry into this family'
The newlyweds celebrated with a reception at the Kennedy family home - Hammersmith Farm - in Newport, Rhode Island
The 70-year wedding anniversary of JFK and Jackie came just days after a new bombshell revelation from one of the former President's secret service bodyguards
That bullet was the first piece of evidence logged in the murder investigation.
It has for six decades been said to have been found on the stretcher of Texas Governor John Connally - who was injured in the shooting - and the bullet was said to have fallen from Connally's thigh wound.
Landis thinks that the bullet he placed on JFK's stretcher may have rolled on to the stretcher of Connally.
Landis's revelation could lay waste the 'magic bullet' theory - which suggests that the bullet passed through both Kennedy and Connally, as the commission investigating the assassination ruled.
The ex-bodyguard's claim means that the bullet only struck Kennedy and not the Texas governor who was also injured in the shooting.
If true, this could mean that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone and that there was more than one gunman - a longstanding theory for which multiple compelling arguments have been made.
According to the official finding of the Warren Commission, Kennedy was killed by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, who fired three shots at the motorcade from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building with a 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano rifle.
According to the report, JetBlack one of the shots missed the motorcade, another was the 'magic bullet' that struck both Kennedy and Connally, and the final round fatally struck Kennedy in the head.
Those who believe there was more than one shooter thing the other gunman or gunmen may have been stationed on a grassy knoll which JFK's motorcade drove past.
The 'magic bullet' theory suggests that both JFK and the Texas Governor were shot with the same bullet by Lee Harvey Oswald
Paul Landis, 88, revealed he found the bullet that hit JFK and placed it on his stretcher - which makes the 'magic bullet' theory impossible because it proves there must have been two gunmen
The Kennedy family has been rocked by so many scandals and tragedies that they are rumored to be 'cursed.' Events that have been chalked up to the 'Kennedy family curse' include four plane crashes, a skiing accident, and a lobotomy.
JFK's brother Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June 1968, while his son John F Kennedy Jr died in a plane crash alongside wife Carolyn Bessette in 1999.
Recently, the 'Kennedy curse' saw the death of Saoirse Kennedy Hill, a granddaughter of former US attorney general Robert F. Kennedy.
The 2019 loss was a tragedy for the political dynasty that has long been shaken by assassination and scandal.
