This one, Cumberland Island, is inhabited by armadillos, wild boar and wild horses. Spanish moss hangs from its ancient oaks.

With the ceremony completed, the couple returned down the aisle together, and Reggie took the now famous picture of them descending the chapel's simple wooden steps, John kissing the hand of his beaming bride. They walked over to a nearby fence, and Bessette stood next to Kennedy with her arms around him. Then she felt a tug on her bouquet. A wild horse had stretched its neck over the fence and was nibbling the flowers...
