Mary Courtney Kennedy, daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, has married an Irish activist who is free on bail while appealing his conviction in the murder of a British soldier.

Kennedy was married June 26 in a private ceremony at sea to Paul Michael Hill of Belfast, Northern Ireland, her family announced Thursday.

Hill was one of the "Guildford Four" wrongfully convicted in the 1974 IRA bombings of pubs in Guildford and Woolwich, and co-author of the book "Stolen Years," about his 16-year imprisonment.

He and his three codefendants were released in October 1989.

He is free on bail pending an appeal of his conviction in the murder of British soldier Brian Shaw in Belfast in 1974.

It was the second marriage for Kennedy, 37, who works for the AIDS Foundation for Immunology and Allergology, and for Hill, 38.

The newsworthiness of photos of Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett outweigh the couple's desire for privacy, a judge ruled.

Film of the two on their wedding day was confiscated from a People magazine photographer. U.S. District Judge Sarah Evans Barker ruled Tuesday that the photographer can have the film back.

"They were people who had inserted themselves into the public light," Barker said of Lovett and Roberts, who were married Sunday in Marion, Ind.

Steve Kagan said he photographed the couple on stage during Lovett's concert that night in Noblesville, Ind.

Seven rolls were confiscated by security guards.

Kagan and the magazine sued. Lovett's attorney, Max W. Hittle Jr., said the film belonged to the singer because Lovett has the right to control the use of his image.
