Andrew's marriage might be among the most talked about marriages in history. His marriage was a rollercoaster. Let's talk about his marriage, divorce and relationships.
Andrew was previously married to the seventh child of Robert F. Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy. Proposing Kerry was a huge deal for Andrew as she was from a prosperous family with a respected political background.
In 1990, on Valentine's day, Andrew proposed Kerry. But before that, he thought about it a lot and even asked people their opinions. Kerry accepted his proposal and their engagement was announced in February of the same year.
Andrew started planning their wedding like he planned a political campaign. The pair got married on June 9, 1990, at St. Matthew's Cathedral located in Washington, D.C. The marriage was no less than a royal wedding. As mentioned by sources, the two were not just close but they were very understanding and had a strong bond.
