His daughter Vanessa is getting married in October, and he has thrown himself rather dramatically into wedding-planning, in part because his ex-wife Julia Thorne, Vanessa's mother, died of cancer in 2006. (Walking back to his office from the Senate floor recently, Kerry held forth at length about the coming nuptials and his hopes of persuading his daughter to do a Red Sox bridal-party outing.)
