from
Wikipedia
Bouvier served in World War I and attended Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University, graduating in 1914, becoming a stockbroker ..
He married Janet Norton Lee, on July 7, 1928, with whom he had two daughters, Jacqueline and Lee.
His drinking, gambling and womanizing led to his divorce from his wife in 1940.
While he never remarried, Janet did in 1942, to Hugh D. Auchincloss.
His former wife reportedly did not want him to escort Jacqueline down the aisle for her wedding to John F. Kennedy.
Jacqueline was instead escorted by her stepfather.
Some reports state that Bouvier was too intoxicated to escort his daughter, and this was the reason Auchincloss stepped in to give the bride away.
