After a year-long courtship and a three-month engagement, Jacqueline Bouvier, 24, and Sen. John F. Kennedy, 36, are married on Sept. 12, 1953, at St. Mary’s Church in Newport, Rhode Island, in what many regard as one of the 20th century’s true “fairy tale” weddings. Here, LIFE.com presents a series of photos from that day — most of them rare, a few of them famous — by LIFE magazine’s Lisa Larsen.
