But the groom's sister responded with a thumbs-up sign when a television crew from Jacksonville, Fla., shouted questions about reports of the wedding. And the groom's cousin, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., provided confirmation Sunday at a political appearance in Steubenville, Ohio. ``My cousin John did tie the knot yesterday,'' Patrick Kennedy said at a fund-raiser for a fellow Democrat, state Sen. Robert Burch, who is running for a seat in the House of Representatives. Patrick Kennedy gave no details of the wedding, to which he was not invited, but his spokesman, Larry Berman, confirmed that Bessette was the bride. ``I think it was, from what we heard, very small,'' Berman said about the wedding ceremony. The 35-year-old son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis had been the object of gossip and speculation for years in tabloids that have dubbed him ``the sexiest man alive'' and ``America's most eligible bachelor.''

Kennedy, the co-founder and editor of George, a magazine of political commentary, ended a lengthy relationship with the actress Darryl Hannah not long after his mother's death in 1994. Last September, Kennedy denied reports that he and Bessette were engaged, but over the past year they were seen together in New York and at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis on Cape Cod, and their relationship was subjected to intense media scrutiny. Kennedy and Bessette were videotaped last February in a New York park having what was taken to be a lovers' quarrel. It was shown on television and turned up in newspapers and magazines. New York magazine reported last week that Kennedy, apparently seeking privacy, had made his wedding plans without divulging the date or place even to many of his closest relatives and friends. Fewer than a dozen people were reported to have attended the ceremony at 4 p.m. Saturday in a small chapel on Cumberland Island, a barrier of unspoiled beaches in the southeast corner of Georgia that was once a vacation home Vacation Home A home separate from an individual's primary residence that is used for recreational purposes and may also be rented out at unused times.

The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville reported, however, that security was unusually high on the island over the weekend and that private guards turned the curious away from Greyfield Inn. The newspaper also quoted a park volunteer as saying that members of the Kennedy family were on the island and had been arriving under the cover of darkness for several days.
