Conor Kennedy and Brazilian pop star Giulia Be just gave us the celebrity wedding content we needed. The couple celebrated their marriage over three days in Rio de Janeiro starting October 8, and the itinerary alone is worth a scroll. A welcome party in Alto da Boa Vista, beach volleyball on Ipanema, a blessing at Christ the Redeemer, and a reception at Instituto Brando Barbosa. The church ceremony took place at Igreja Nossa Senhora do Carmo da Antiga Sé, a historic church dating back to 1808.
The couple had already made it official with a private civil ceremony in Los Angeles back in March, so this Rio weekend was the full celebration with family and friends. Giulia told Vogue she wanted to honor both the wedding and the city she loves. Her quote about the location is already iconic:“My love, I love you, but I’m not getting married in Massachusetts.”RFK Jr. shared family photos from the festivities on social media, including a moment of the couple checking Seminoles-Cardinals game updates.
Style watchers also noticed the bride’s Calvin Klein slip dress channeled Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, which feels like a full-circle Kennedy fashion moment. The whole weekend blended American political dynasty with Brazilian pop culture, and honestly, it worked. So what’s your take: would you want a three-day destination wedding, or is one big day more your speed?
