The granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy was married over the weekend in a ceremony held at the Montauk Yacht Club.

Rory Kennedy and David DiCamillo said 'I do' on Friday in front of guests including the bride's grandmother Ethel and Kathie Lee Gifford, whose late husband Frank was the bride's maternal grandfather. 

The groom, 37, works for Citibank while the bride, 28, is a freelance writer.

Meet cute: The couple met at the gym in 2012 when DiCamillo (right the day after the wedding) approached Rory as she ran on a treadmill

Family: Rory's father Michael Kennedy died in a 1997 ski accident, months after allegations he slept with the family babysitter starting when she was 14 (Rory's siblings Kyle and Michael Jr. with their parents attending the wedding of Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford in 1986)

The couple was profiled over the weekend in The New York Times, revealing that they first met back in 2012 while at a gym in Manhattan's West Village. 

DiCamillo said he approached Rory while she was on the treadmill to try and ask her out, but she ditched him halfway through their conversation to take a phone call from her mother.

He said he was impressed by her 'speed and athleticism' as well as her beauty, and asked her to go out with for drinks and Rory agreed to the first date.

'He seemed nice and I thought he was really cute, so I said: "Sure, why not. I'll give you my number,"' said Rory. 

The proposal came in 2015 while the couple was celebrating DiCamillo's birthday at Top of the Standard, also in the West Village.

'It was my birthday, and she was my gift,' said DiCamillo.

Kathie Lee Gifford spoke about the wedding on Today Monday morning, saying that the after party went on until 5am, and that the entire event had to be moved indoors at the last second due to inclement weather.

In the end though she said it was a lovely weekend with a beautiful couple, but admitted that the band was too loud for her taste.

She also shared photos of herself, the bride and groom and her son Cody. Gifford's daughter Cassidy was also among those in attendance on Friday.

One person who did not attend however was Rory's uncle Robert F Kennedy Jr., who was in Peru with wife Cheryl Hines.

The bride's mother, Victoria Kennedy, is Frank Gifford's oldest daughter.

Rory's father is the late Michael Francis Kennedy, who died suddenly in 1997 when he slammed into a tree while playing football on skis during a family trip to Aspen.

Just months prior to this it was reported that Michael had been having an affair with the family's babysitter that began when the girl was 14, an allegation denied by Michael.

He did admit to the affair and having sex with the teenager however, but said she was 16 when they first became intimate. 

That would have been legal at the time in Massachusetts, despite the fact that Michael was more than two decades older than the high school student.

He passed multiple lie detector tests in the wake of the allegations, and the young woman refused to cooperate with authorities trying to investigate the nature of the relationship between the pair.

Victoria and Michael separated after he admitted to the affair and he checked himself into rehab.

He was released just weeks before his death.

Tragedy struck the Kennedy clan again less than two years later when John F. Kennedy Jr was killed in a plane crash while on his way to the wedding of his cousin Rory to Mark Bailey in Martha's Vineyard.

Her nuptials were postponed by the family as they dealt with the death of President Kennedy's only son.
