RFK Jr’s son Conor Kennedy celebrates his wedding to Brazilian pop star Giulia Be in Rio de Janeiro

The beaches, peaks and historic streets of Rio de Janeiro were among the scenes at the wedding celebration of Conor Kennedy and Brazilian pop star Giulia Bourguignon Marinho earlier this month – with many images circulating on social media in recent days.

Conor Kennedy is the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump administration.

The three-day wedding celebration, which began Oct. 8, included a blessing at the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, a ceremony at the downtown Igreja Nossa Senhora do Carmo da Antiga Sé church and a reception at a historic mansion in the Jardim Botânico, according to reports.

The couple officially tied the knot in a private civil ceremony in Los Angeles in March, Vogue reported.

“We wanted to celebrate not only the wedding, but also Rio de Janeiro, the city we love,” Marinho, professionally known as Giulia Be, told the outlet.

“Being there, overlooking Rio, with our family was one of those moments I will never forget.”

Earlier this year, Marinho told Brazilian media outlet Globo that she saw it as “the only chance to bring all of (Kennedy’s) friends and family to Brazil,” and she “wanted to show them a good time.”

She remembers telling her then-fiancé, “My love, I love you, but I’m not getting married in Massachusetts.” »

The church where the couple’s ceremony took place, commonly known as Antiga Sé, is in the historic center of Rio.

It dates back to 1808, when, after the arrival of the Portuguese royal court in Brazil, it served as a royal chapel and cathedral.

Nearby, Praça XV de Novembro is a historic square that hosts a Saturday flea market, where shoppers browse antiques, records and clothing, according to the New York Times.

The area also offers visitors proximity to other historic sites and waterfront views.

The festivities reportedly began with a welcome party in the hills of Alto da Boa Vista.

The next day, guests joined the couple to play beach volleyball in Ipanema before attending the blessing at Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain.

The statue is located in Tijuca National Park, where visitors can enjoy views of the city.

The reception took place at the Instituto Brando Barbosa in the Jardim Botânico neighborhood, home to the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, a public attraction known for its plant collection and historic grounds.

Conor Kennedy is the grandson of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, brother of President John F. Kennedy.

Vogue noted that Marinho’s Calvin Klein slip dress for the wedding blessing evoked the understated elegance of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Conor Kennedy’s late aunt-in-law.

RFK Jr. shared family photos from the festivities on social media. Footage showed the wedding party beneath the Christ the Redeemer statue; his wife, Cheryl Hines, photographed alongside samba dancers; and the newly married couple checking their phones for updates on the Seminoles-Cardinals game.

In a response on Instagram, his new daughter-in-law commented: “I love you, Bobby. »

The bride added: “It made me so happy to see you all enjoying my hometown.”
