Who: Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and TV broadcaster Maria Shriver When: May 1986 Where: St. Francis Xavier's Roman Catholic Church, Hyannis, Mass.
The Event: Over 450 guests watched the exchange of vows by this famous couple at this church which has a long association with the Kennedy family, one where both JFK and RFK once served as altar boys. The event followed a rehearsal dinner at the Hyannis Port Country Club; the elegant property featured both Austrian and Cape Cod dishes ranging from Wiener schnitzel to lobster, strawberry shortcake to Sacher torte. The Dress: The bride wore gown by Christian Dior's Marc Bohan with an 11-foot train. A Special Moment: Oprah Winfrey read Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?" The Reception: The reception was held at the Kennedy compound. The outdoor affair was contained beneath white tents, each designated for a different purpose: cocktails, dinner, and dancing. Foods included oysters, lobster and chicken breasts with champagne sauce. The
couple's wedding cake weighed in at over 400 pounds. The seven-foot-tall
cake was a replica of the one served at Sargeant and Eunice Shriver's
wedding.
