Question: Which famous couple held a secret wedding on Georgia’s Cumberland Island in 1996?

Answer: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were married in the First African Baptist Church on Cumberland Island in 1996. Designated a National Seashore in 1972, the barrier island is a pristine example of Southern maritime forests, saltmarsh, and beaches. There is no bridge from the mainland, so time here has essentially stood still, leaving a land of beautiful isolation and mysterious serenity.
