Lightfoot hits Kennedy compound to oversee wedding of RFK’s grandson
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 7/31/2021 | Michael Sneed

Here ye!

Mayor Lori Lightfoot took time out last weekend for the perfect place to cool off from the city heat: officiating at the wedding of Chris Kennedy, grandson of the late, great Robert F. Kennedy, and his bride, Erin Daigle, at the legendary Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Maine.

“Chris and Erin were supposed to get married last July 24 ... but COVID shut that down,” said the very proud father of the groom, former Illinois gubernatorial candidate Chris Kennedy, who raised his branch of the Kennedy clan on Chicago’s North Shore, where his wife, Sheila, grew up.

Lightfoot and the groom connected during his father’s race in 2018, before she became mayor, and has become a close family friend of the Kennedys.

“They met during my campaign and became kindred spirits,” Kennedy said.

“By the way, my son Chris and the mayor both have this in common: They like to fight above their weight; have a deep sense of social justice; and have never met anyone they are afraid of!”

This is actually the second time the mayor, a lawyer, was the officiant at the couple’s nuptials.

Last weekend’s ceremony “gave the mayor the opportunity to marry them twice, the first time last December at City Hall,” Kennedy chuckled. The couple had put off a family-style wedding until it was pandemic safe to travel.(snip)

On the political side, Sneed is told several Kennedy family members preparing for U.S. ambassadorships in the Biden administration (Vicki Kennedy to Austria and Caroline Kennedy to Australia) were there — as well as celeb Kennedy wives like actress Cheryl “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Hines, who was the TV wife of actor Larry David and is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I believe current “suggestion” is that you should social distance at least 1 1/2 Groots apart.

So, delaying it for a year to stage a gala to show off their wealth was more important then being married.

> I wouldn’t have thought that the Mayor of Chicago would have the authority to perform a wedding in Massachusetts. <

Checking on that would be racist, sexist, and homophobic. So it’s better to let Lightfoot do whatever she wants. For example, maybe she’ll feel like practicing dentistry next week. Just go ahead and let her.

But don’t volunteer to be the patient.

The Kennedys couldn't afford flowers to go all the way around the Chuppah? wt absolute f. That's abysmal.

Bride looks like a young Meryl Streep, chubby arms and all.

After the ceremony, as usual, none of the white kennedys were allowed to ask St. Lori any questions.

A one day license to perform marriage ceremonies in Massachusetts is readily obtainable.

Now the senator came down here

Showing ev’ryone his gun

Handing out free tickets

To the wedding of his son

An’ me, I nearly got busted

An’ wouldn’t it be my luck

To get caught without a ticket

And be discovered beneath a truck

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again

And Mayor Lightfoot doesn’t like to talk to white people. Maybe she used hand signals or something similar instead.
= = =

She was like God talking to Moses on the mountain.

Lightning and smoke and earthquakes and stuff.
