THE WASHINGTON POST, FEBRUARY 15, 1993
Less than a year after his father tied the knot for the second time, Ted Kennedy Jr. is on his way to the altar.
The bride-to-be is Katherine Anne "Kiki" Gershman, 33, who's on the faculty of Yale University's psychiatry department. Kennedy, 31, is director of a community anti-lead program at Yale's medical school.
He popped the question a week ago, but the two have known each other for three years since meeting at a Yale music recital.
Sen. Ted Kennedy said in a statement over the weekend that "the happiness I know Teddy has found with Kiki is everything a father could wish for a son."
Wedding bells are set to ring this fall.
At the last major Kennedy family wedding, the marriage of Mark and Jeannie Shriver last summer, Gershman caught the bridal bouquet, Miller said.

No longer eligible: Best Buddies founder Anthony Shriver (a.k.a. Jackie O's nephew, Arnold Schwarzenegger's brother-in-law, Maria Shriver's brother, JFK Jr.'s cousin.)
"I got engaged last week at our Palm Beach house, out on the lawn, waves crashing, a full moon," Shriver says.
The ring he presented: an emerald-cut diamond.
The bride-to-be, Alina Mojica, is as picture-perfect as the engagement site, Shriver says. "She's great. I met her down in Miami at an event a friend held to welcome me . . . about a year and a half ago."
Vital stats: "She's Cuban, born in Havana, a student at Barry University, she's on the Best Buddies advisory board down in Florida. She's 28. . . . the older woman," cracks Shriver, 27. Both are Catholic.
And she's a mom. Her son from a previous marriage, "is 4 years old. His name is Teddy and he's an excellent kid," Shriver says.
Instant parenthood is a plus. "I have a great relationship with him. I'm thrilled."
Besides, with all those other Shriver nieces and nephews running around, "It's an easy way for me to catch up with my siblings, a very quick route to the top," Shriver laughs.
The wedding date is still undecided, as is the place. "Palm Beach or Hyannis Port, one of those two," Shriver says. "Or I might do it really small and go to one of the islands."

Quietly and secretly, Anthony Shriver, 27, married Alina Mojica, 28, July 2 at the Kennedy compound in Massachusetts.
"It was a really small ceremony at the house in Hyannisport," Shriver says. "Basically my family and about 15 very close friends were there."
Sister Maria Shriver and hubby Arnold Schwarzenegger did a reading together. His mother, Eunice Shriver, read the opening poem. The Schwarzenegger daughters were flower girls, and Mojica's son Teddy, 4, was the ring-bearer.
The guest list was "whoever was around," says Shriver, since the ceremony was done "very quickly. The people who were at the Cape came, and those who weren't at the Cape for the Fourth didn't come." Cousin John Kennedy Jr. wasn't there, he says, nor mom Jackie O. "She doesn't come to the Cape at all," confided Shriver.
After the seaside wedding, a reception and dinner followed at the house. But no holiday fireworks. "There were fireworks inside at the party," he laughs.
A honeymoon, he says, has been delayed until August.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, JULY 1, 1993
Mary Courtney Kennedy, daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, has married an Irish activist who is free on bail while appealing his conviction in the murder of a British soldier.
Kennedy was married June 26 in a private ceremony at sea to Paul Michael Hill of Belfast, Northern Ireland, her family announced Thursday.
Hill was one of the "Guildford Four" wrongfully convicted in the 1974 IRA bombings of pubs in Guildford and Woolwich, and co-author of the book "Stolen Years," about his 16-year imprisonment.
He and his three codefendants were released in October 1989 after an appellate court reversed their convictions because the government admitted that police had falsified evidence.
He is free on bail pending an appeal of his conviction in the murder of former British soldier Brian Shaw in Belfast in 1974.
Hill confessed to helping kidnap Shaw, who was executed by the IRA. But he said the confession - made after he was arrested as a suspect in the Guildford case - came under duress, after police threatened to press a murder charge against his pregnant girlfriend.
Kennedy's aunt, Jean Kennedy Smith, is U.S. ambassador to Ireland.
It was the second marriage for Kennedy, 37, who works for the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology, and for Hill, 38. He has a daughter, Cara, 18.
The couple planned a honeymoon in Ireland.
U.P.I., JULY 2, 1993
Mary Courtney Kennedy, a daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, has married Paul Michael Hill, an Irish Republican Army figure who was wrongfully jailed for 15 years for bombing pubs frequented by British soldiers.
The announcement was made in Boston Thursday by the Kennedy family.
Kennedy, 37, is the niece of the U.S. ambassador to Ireland, Jean Kennedy Smith. Hill, 38, is a Belfast native who is free on bail pending an appeal of his conviction in the 1974 killing of a British soldier.
The two were wed Saturday aboard the yacht Varmar VE in the Aegean Sea by the ship's owner and captain, Vardis Vardinoyannis.
Courtney's brother, Michael Kennedy, said the two had been engaged but had not set a date.
''I think when they got over there, they decided that was the best opportunity,'' he said. Her mother, Ethel, flew over for the ceremonies.
Courtney Kennedy is the fifth of Robert and Ethel's 11 children. She is the U.N. ambassador for Eastern Europe on the AIDS Foundation.
She was previously married to cable television sports executive Jeff Rhue.
Hill was one of the Guildford Four. He served 15 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted in a fatal IRA bombing at a Guildford pub frequented by British soldiers.
The four were later exonerated by a judge who ruled that police falsified evidence against Hill and three others.
Hill wrote a book about his ordeal, ''Stolen Years.''
He is free pending appeal of his conviction in the 1974 death of Brian Shaw, a former British soldier. Hill said he confessed to that killing because police threatened to press a murder charge against his pregnant girlfriend and threatened to harm his family.
The newlyweds were introduced in 1990 by her brother, Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy 11, D-Mass.
They are honeymooning in Ireland.
THE NEW YORK TIMES, JULY 2, 1993
MARY COURTNEY KENNEDY, 36, the fifth of Robert F. Kennedy's 11 children, has married PAUL MICHAEL HILL, 38, who is free on bail while appealing his conviction in the murder of a British soldier.
The wedding took place on Saturday aboard a ship in the Aegean Sea, according to a statement issued yesterday by MICHAEL KENNEDY, a brother of the bride. In a telephone interview, Mr. Kennedy described Mr. Hill as "a human rights advocate who is involved in the issues of Northern Ireland."
Mr. Hill was one of the Guildford Four, who were convicted of bombing two pubs in England in 1974. The incident killed five people and injured 65. After serving 15 years of a life sentence, he and three co-defendants were released from prison in October 1989 when an appellate court determined that the police had tampered with the evidence.
The Associated Press reported yesterday that Mr. Hill was free on bail pending an appeal of his conviction in another incident, the murder of Brian Shaw, a British soldier, in Belfast in 1974.
Michael Kennedy said his mother, ETHEL KENNEDY, had attended the small private ceremony that was performed by Vardis Vardinoyannis, the owner and captain of the ship, the Varmar VE. Both the bride and bridegroom were previously married.
The bride, who is known as Courtney, is a representative for Eastern Europe and the United States on the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology, a nongovernmental organization under the auspices of the United Nations. She also serves on the board of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Foundation.
Mr. Hill is the author of "Stolen Years," an account of his imprisonment that was published by Doubleday in 1990. The couple will spend the summer in Ireland.
THE IRISH TIMES, JULY 2, 1993
ONE of the freed Guildford Four, Mr Paul Hill, has married Ms Courtney Kennedy, a daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, aboard a ship in the Aegean Sea. They were married last Saturday by the ship's captain and owner, Mr Vardis Vardinoyannis, and at a Mass celebrated by Father Michael Kennedy. The couple have been together for three years.
Ms Kennedy serves as ambassador for eastern Europe and the United States on the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology, a non-governmental organisation under the auspices of the UN. She also serves on the board of directors of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial.
Mr Hill was freed by the Appeal Court in London in October 1989 following the quashing of his conviction for involvement in the 1974 Guildford and Woolwich pub bombings. He has since written an account of his 15 years of wrongful imprisonment, Stolen Years,
RFK DAUGHTER WEDS MAN CLEARED IN IRA BLAST
BOSTON GLOBE, July 2, 1993
Mary Courtney Kennedy, a daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and niece of the new US ambassador to Ireland, has married Paul Michael Hill, a Belfast native who is free on bail pending an appeal of his conviction in the 1974 killing of a British soldier.
Kennedy, 37, and Hill, 38, were married Saturday aboard the yacht Varmar VE in the Aegean Sea by the ship's owner and captain, Vardis Vardinoyannis, according to an announcement yesterday in Boston by the Kennedy family.
Hill spent 15 years in a British prison until a separate conviction in two deadly IRA pub bombings was overturned in 1989. A judge ruled that police in that case had falsified evidence against Hill and three others, called the Guildford Four.
Kennedy's mother, Ethel, and a small group of American and European friends attended the ceremony, which was celebrated by an Irish priest, the announcement said.
The couple had been dating since 1991 after Kennedy separated from Jeffrey Ruhe, a television executive whom she married in 1980. Ruhe was also remarried Saturday, in Dedham, to Laura Gilman, a daughter of Susan Hicks of Dedham and Lewis Gilman of London.
Hill was released from prison after an appellate court concluded that he had been wrongfully convicted in the 1974 bombings of two pubs in England in which seven people died.
Hill is coauthor of a book, "Stolen Years," about his long incarceration.
Based on his confession that he helped kidnap British soldier Brian Shaw, who was slain by the Irish Republican Army, Hill was also convicted of murder. The confession was obtained by police after Hill became a suspect in the Guildford case.
But Hill says his confession was made under threat from the police that his pregnant girlfriend would be prosecuted in the murder case and that his family would be harmed.
Kennedy and Hill were introduced by Kennedy's brother, Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy 2d. Courtney Kennedy's aunt is Jean Kennedy Smith, the new US ambassador to Ireland.
Courtney Kennedy is the fifth of Robert and Ethel Kennedy's 11 children. She serves as ambassador for Eastern Europe and the United States on the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology, a UN organization. She is also a director of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial.
Hill, the father of an 18-year-old daughter, Cara, is working as a human rights activist, yesterday's statement said.
The couple have embarked on a summer honeymoon in Ireland.
WEDDING OF COURTNEY KENNEDY AND PAUL HILL
THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 2, 1993
MARY COURTNEY KENNEDY, 36, the fifth of Robert F. Kennedy's 11 children, has married PAUL MICHAEL HILL, 38, who is free on bail while appealing his conviction in the murder of a British soldier.

IRISH HONEYMOON FOR HILL AND KENNEDY
THE IRISH TIMES, July 3, 1993
Mr Paul Hill, one of the freed Guildford Four, and his new bride, Ms Courtney Kennedy, talked for the first time last night about their secret wedding, as they prepared for a honeymoon in Ireland. Speaking from London, the couple revealed that after their marriage they had had a private audience with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican last Monday.
Mr Hill said his marriage to a Kennedy had not changed him. "I'm still the same person, I don't feel any different. It's good, I love her and she loves me."
Ms Kennedy was more forthcoming. "It feels absolutely wonderful, like heaven," she said. "We've been together for over three years and I don't think either of us would have done anything like this if we weren't totally sure."
Mr Hill (38), from Belfast, married into the Kennedy dynasty aboard a ship in the Aegean sea last Saturday. A civil ceremony was performed by the ship's owner, Admiral Vardis Vardinoyannis, and Mass was celebrated by Father Michael Kennedy, a parish priest from Co Waterford. The best man was a Dubliner, Mr Peter Graves, a former student activist who has been an inseparable friend of Mr Hill since the Belfastman's release from prison in October 1989.
There were only 15 guests, and the bride wore white. The guests included her mother Ethel, the Boston Globe columnist, Robert Healy, and a family friend of the Kennedys, Mr Donald Klosterman, owner of the Los Angeles Rams football team.
Mr Hill was one of four men wrongfully convicted of the Guildford and Woolwich bombings of November 1974, serving 15 years before the four were released on appeal in 1989 after a major campaign in Britain, Ireland and the US.
While in prison, he married an American paper-mill executive, Ms Marion Serralli, but the marriage ended in divorce two years later. He was introduced shortly after his release to Ms Kennedy (37) by her brother, Congressman Joe Kennedy, an active supporter of the campaigns to free the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six.
She is a daughter of the late Senator Robert Kennedy and Mrs Ethel Kennedy and works for the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology. She has also been married previously. Celebrating yesterday with family and friends, Mr Hill explained the secrecy surrounding his marriage. "We thought we'd do it before the press crucified us."
The couple had a 15-minute private audience with the Pope at the Vatican last Monday, at which Mrs Ethel Kennedy and Father Kennedy were also present. "I felt it was an extraordinary experience," Ms Kennedy said. "He's got a lovely, kind, warm face. The whole feeling about him is, I suppose, very holy."
They plan to live in New York, but according to Mr Hill they will first have a lengthy honeymoon in Ireland, starting today when they attend the Fleadh Mor music festival in Tramore.
PRESS ASSOCIATION NEWSFILE, JULY 4, 1993
Newly-married Guildford Four member Paul Hill and Mary Courtney Kennedy - a niece of President John Kennedy - were continuing their honeymoon in Ireland today after being recognised by fans at a top music festival, who flocked round them. Mr Hill, 39, and his 37-year-old bride turned up at a two-day concert on a seaside racecourse in Tramore, Co Waterford, featuring Bob Dylan, Ray Charles and Van Morrison. While the music played on, fans surrounded the couple when they stopped briefly on their way to more remote Co Clare in the west of Ireland. The new Mrs Hill - daughter of Robert Kennedy, like his President brother a victim of an assassin - declared: "Married life is great, things couldn't be better." Paul Hill said: "It's great to be back in Ireland, and I am enjoying being married." He was previously married to another American, Marian Serravalli. They wed before his release from 16 years in jail - after his wrongful conviction for the 1974 Guildford IRA bombings - but later divorced. The couple are expected to visit Mrs Hill's Aunt Jean before leaving Ireland. A sister of John and Bobby Kennedy, she took over as US Ambassador in Ireland last month.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, JULY 5, 1993
Mary Courtney Kennedy, daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and her new husband, Irish activist Paul Hill, made a brief stop at a music festival during their honeymoon in Ireland.
"Married life is great, things couldn't be better," she told reporters at the concert at a seaside racecourse in Tramore, County Waterford. The two-day event featured Bob Dylan, Ray Charles and Van Morrison.
Hill, one of the so-called Guildford Four who spent 16 years in prison for the 1974 IRA bombings of pubs in Guildford and Woolwich, said: "It's great to be back in Ireland, and I am enjoying being married."
Hill and his three co-defendants were freed in 1989 after an appellate court reversed their convictions because the government admitted that police had falsified evidence. Hill is now free on bail while appealing his conviction in the murder of former British soldier Brian Shaw in Belfast in 1974.
After stopping at the music festival Saturday, the couple headed to more remote County Clare in the west of Ireland. They are expected to visit Mrs. Hill's aunt, Jean Kennedy Smith, the new U.S. ambassador to Ireland, before they return to the United States.
Hill, 39, and his 37-year-old bride, who works for the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology, were married June 26 on a ship in the Aegean Sea. It was the second marriage for both.
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL, JULY 17, 1993
Rep. Joseph Kennedy II, D-Mass., announced his engagement Saturday to Beth Kelly, a member of his congressional staff.
A wedding date will be set later in the year, Kennedy said.
Kelly, 36, is the daughter of Leo and Claire Kelly of Burlington, N. J. She grew up in Burlington and moved to Boston in 1975.
Kelly worked on Kennedy's successful congressional campaign in 1986, and joined his Washington staff the following year.
Kennedy, 40, is the eldest son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel. He was elected to Congress in 1986 to represent the 8th congressional district, replacing retiring House Speaker Thomas P. ''Tip'' O'Neill Jr.
Kennedy's uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he and his wife, Victoria, were very happy for the couple.
''We've gotten to know Beth over the past few years and are enormously fond of her, and we love Joe very much. We wish them as much happiness together as we have,'' Sen. Kennedy said.
Joseph Kennedy's political star has risen substantially despite a rocky start in Congress. He received mostly negative publicity following a shouting match with a British soldier in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1988.
This will be the second marriage for Kennedy. In 1990, he filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years, Sheila Rauch. The couple has twin sons, Matthew and Joe, 12.
Massachusetts Democrats have tried to persuade Kennedy to run for governor, but he ruled out a bid in 1990, and earlier this year indicated that he would not challenge incumbent Gov. William Weld, a Republican.
In January, Kennedy was elected chairman of a powerful banking subcommittee that oversees consumer credit issues and the insurance industry.
Kennedy's engagement was the second marital tidings announced by the family in less than a month. In late June, Kennedy's younger sister, Mary Courtney Kennedy, wed Paul Michael Hill. Hill, a Belfast native, served 15 years in prison for Irish Republican Army bombings of British pubs that left six people dead. He and three other members of the so- called ''Guildford Four'' were exonerated when a judge ruled police had falsified evidence in the case.
THE BOSTON GLOBE, JULY 18, 1993
Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy 2d (D-Mass.) announced his engagement yesterday to his scheduler and personal secretary, Anne Elizabeth Kelly. They will set a date for their marriage later this year, an aide said.
Kennedy, 40, the oldest son of Robert and Ethel Kennedy, has been romantically involved with Kelly for about three years.
Kelly, 36, grew up in Burlington, N.J. and moved to Boston in 1975. She has worked with Kennedy since 1982, when she began working at Citizens Energy Corp. a Boston-based company founded by Kennedy, that provides low-cost fuel for needy people.
In 1986, Kelly worked as assistant to the campaign manager during Kennedy's first successful congressional campaign. She joined his congressional staff the following year, serving as his Washington-based scheduler and personal secretary.
The two received publicity last month when the Globe reported that Kelly flew back and forth to Boston with Kennedy virtually every weekend at a cut-rate government fare reserved for congressmen and their staffs flying on official business.
Kennedy was unavailable to discuss their engagement yesterday. But last month, in defending the flight practice, he described Kelly as a crucial adviser on a range of issues.
"She plays a much bigger role than a strict scheduler," he said in an interview. "She is someone whose judgment I rely on all the time."
Kennedy divorced his first wife, Sheila Rauch of Philadelphia, in 1990. The couple have twin sons, Matthew and Joe, 12.
He now serves as chairman of the House Banking Subcommittee on Consumer Credit and Insurance.
WEDDINGS: IRISH LOVE SONG - RFK'S DAUGHTER COURTNEY MARRIES AN IRISH ACTIVIST ONCE FALSELY ACCUSED AS AN IRA BOMBER
PEOPLE, July 19, 1993
BECAUSE HE MISSED MUCH OF THE '70S and '80s, the groom likes '60s-style music concerts. So on the Fourth of July weekend, Paul Hill took his bride, Mary Courtney Kennedy, the 37-year-old daughter of Robert Kennedy, to hear Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Ray Charles in Tramore, a seaside resort in southern Ireland. It seemed ordinary enough, but even in a family where activism is expected and where marriage material runs the gamut from England's Marquess of Hartington (aunt Kathleen in 1944) to Arnold Schwarzenegger (cousin Maria Shriver in 1986), Courtney's choice of a second spouse is exceptional.
In 1975, the Belfast-born Hill, 38, was convicted in IRA pub bombings outside London that killed six people; after serving 15 years in prison, he was exonerated because the police had falsified evidence and coerced his confession. Now a human rights activist, he is free on bail while appealing a separate murder conviction based on the same police interrogation.
''It's obvious they fell for each other under strange circumstances,'' says a friend of Hill's. ''But they're here – and they're very much in love.''
The unlikely matchmaker was the bride's mother, Ethel. When Hill was in Washington for a human rights conference in 1990, Ethel suggested he visit Courtney, who was recuperating from a skiing accident. ''She was looking rather pathetic and very pitiful surrounded by all these flowers,'' Hill said teasingly. ''Poor little thing!''
The courtship developed in 1991, and Hill later moved into Courtney's Fifth Avenue apartment. (Kennedy, goodwill ambassador for a United Nations AIDS foundation, was divorced from cable television executive Jeff Ruhe in 1991. ) The couple were wed June 26 in the Aegean Sea on a yacht owned by Greek TV magnate Vardis Vardinoyannis who performed the ceremony.
Hill, whose education ended at 14, was a construction worker in North London when he was arrested in 1974, seven weeks after the pub bombings in Guildford. In his 1990 autobiography, Stolen Years, he denied any direct IRA involvement and said he confessed to the bombing only under duress; he also implicated three other Irish defendants. (All had their convictions overturned.) Just before going to prison he fathered a daughter, Cara, now 18, by his childhood sweetheart Gina Clarke. And in a 1988 prison ceremony he married Marion Serravalli, a 31-year-old New Jersey paper mill buyer to whom
he had been writing since 1985. The marriage ended after two years.
As the newlyweds listened to the music at Tramore, they had no comment about their at-sea nuptials or their future plans. Friends say the couple will build a house in County Clare in western Ireland -- which Courtney told a London paper ''will be my home away from home.'' Hill, with his tanned skin and sun- bleached hair and sporty sunglasses on a cord, has come a long way from Belfast. ''Oh, he's a celebrity now,'' said a stagehand, ''One of the gliterati.''
THE WASHINGTON POST, JULY 19, 1993
Calling all Kennedys: Please assemble in party dress at the family estate.
Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II announced his engagement to Anne Elizabeth Kelly, 36, a member of his Washington staff. The couple have been dating for three years.
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said he and his second wife, Victoria Reggie Kennedy, were delighted with their nephew's news on Saturday. "We've gotten to know Beth over the past few years and are enormously fond of her, and we love Joe very much," the senator said.
The 40-year-old Democrat from Massachusetts, Robert and Ethel Kennedy's son, is divorced from his first wife, Sheila Rauch, with whom he had twin sons. He is now seeking an annulment from the Roman Catholic Church.
No date has been set for the wedding.
USA TODAY, JULY 19, 1993
Marriage is in the air for the Kennedy clan. Congressman Joseph Kennedy II announced Saturday he is engaged to Anne Elizabeth Kelly, 36, a member of his Washington staff whom he has been dating for three years.
And weekend reports say Daryl Hannah and John Kennedy Jr. have applied for a California marriage license, though Hannah spokesman Alan Neirob can't confirm that. "I haven't heard anything about a marriage license."
Joe Kennedy, 40, divorced from his first wife, is seeking an annulment. They have twin sons, 12.
Senator Ted Kennedy - who re-wed last July 3 - expressed delight at nephew Joe's engagement.
Just last month the Kennedys were celebrating nuptials when Mary Courtney Kennedy, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, married Irish activist Paul Michael Hill. Anthony Shriver is probably the next bridegroom - he popped the question in June.
USA TODAY, JULY 20, 1993
Quietly and secretly, Anthony Shriver, 27, married Alina Mojica, 28, July 2 at the Kennedy compound in Massachusetts.
"It was a really small ceremony at the house in Hyannisport," Shriver says. "Basically my family and about 15 very close friends were there."
Sister Maria Shriver and hubby Arnold Schwarzenegger did a reading together. His mother, Eunice Shriver, read the opening poem. The Schwarzenegger daughters were flower girls, and Mojica's son Teddy, 4, was the ring-bearer.
The guest list was "whoever was around," says Shriver, since the ceremony was done "very quickly. The people who were at the Cape came, and those who weren't at the Cape for the Fourth didn't come." Cousin John Kennedy Jr. wasn't there, he says, nor mom Jackie O. "She doesn't come to the Cape at all," confided Shriver.
After the seaside wedding, a reception and dinner followed at the house. But no holiday fireworks. "There were fireworks inside at the party," he laughs.
A honeymoon, he says, has been delayed until August.
