February 3, 1979. A church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. A Catholic priest and an Episcopal priest share the altar, because the bride isn't Catholic and the groom is Robert Kennedy's oldest son. America filed that photograph under fairy tale. Fourteen years later, the groom asked a church court to rule that the wedding produced nothing at all. She opened the letter from the archdiocese and vomited. He had already remarried. The grounds claimed one of them wasn't capable of consenting. He called her a nobody in Boston. That nobody took the case to Rome. It started nine years earlier, in 1970.
