Patrick Kennedy to Wed at Family's Seaside Compound

Friday, 15 July 2011

Patrick Kennedy, former eight-term Congressman from Rhode Island and son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, will marry New Jersey schoolteacher Amy Petitgout on Friday in a small, private ceremony at the family’s compound in Hyannisport, Mass., the Associated Press reports.
The ceremony will be presided over by Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Meanwhile, family members are at odds over what to do with the seaside compound.
According to AP, Sen. Edward Kennedy's widow, Vicki Kennedy, and his three children plan to transfer the main house at the compound to the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate for use as a scholarly retreat, museum or the like.
A family associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, told AP that some of the Kennedys have raised concerns about those plans.
They are worried about protecting the privacy of family members who will continue to live on the grounds, maintaining the overall character of the compound and ensuring access to the property, the family associate said.
