ATHENS Rory Kennedy, whose wedding was postponed last month when her cousin John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash on his way to attend it, married in Athens Monday at the home of a Greek businessman, a Greek television station said. The private Skai television station said Kennedy married Mark Bailey in a small ceremony at the house of shipping tycoon Vardis Vardinoyannis in the plush northern Athens suburb of Ekali. Eyewitnesses said a number of journalists had congregated outside Vardinoyannis's villa.

Bodiguards in dark suits guarded the villa's entrances. Skai earlier showed pictures of a number of limousines entering the compound on a green hill overlooking Athens. Its reporters said about 25 guests attended the ceremony. Rory Kennedy, a New York documentary filmmaker, was to have wed Bailey, a film and book editor, on July 17 at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannisport, Mass. But the wedding was postponed after the single-engine plane piloted by John Kennedy, son of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, and carrying his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her sister Lauren Bessette crashed off Martha's Vineyard. All three were killed.

The youngest of Robert and Ethel Kennedy's 11 children, Rory Kennedy, 30, was born after her father was shot dead in 1968 while running for president. If confirmed, it would be the second Kennedy family member married in Greece. Jacqueline Kennedy, Rory's late aunt and mother of JFK Jr., married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1968 at his private island of Scorpios in the Ionian Sea. The Athens daily Adesmeftos Typos also reported on Monday that Rory Kennedy would get married at the Vardinoyannis compound later in the day.

The paper cited sources from the Vardinoyannis family. Spokespeople at the offices of Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy -- Rory Kennedy's uncle and the family patriarch -- in Washington and Boston said they had no comment on the Greek media reports. (Reuter)
