I believe it was her home in a tent on the grounds. Would that be considered suitable?>>>

thanks for the info. I don't think someone's back yard is a "suitable" replacement since the canon states that it must be in another church or oratory (a place of prayer).

All I know is that the average poor person with fortunes less than a million MUST marry in a Catholic Church. I know plenty of people, mostly the brides, who have tried unsuccessfully to have their weddings in the banquet hall chapel, the park, etc. How did Frank Sinatra get 3 annulments? Money talks, and the Heinz Kerry's have plenty of money.

I did some net searchng. See my post here

There is talk on that thread (actually there are three threads going on this at the moment, maybe more) about the annulment and how to find out if there actually was one.

I've been unable to come up with who officiated. Maybe a Freeper can find a newspaper article in one of the local Nantucket papers (there should be quite a bit about it) and find out. Who officiated might be indicative of whether or not there was actually an annulment.

Maybe the annulment talk was for public consumption. I never found out if Kennedy actually got an annulment, and as far as I know, the church has been silent about it. The switchboard in Boston lit up when Kennedy received communion at his mother's funeral.

Nantucket is in the Fall River Diocese.

Here's a gay wedding on Nantucket Kerry attended:

"In addition to relatives and friends, Gifford family associates U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his wife Myra attended."

No ordinary Nantucket society wedding

I thought he didn't believe in gay weddings.
