Andrew Cuomo & Kerry Kennedy’s Daughter, 29, Marries in Stunning Lace Gown: Pics, Including Father-Daughter Dance

Congratulations to Mariah Kennedy Cuomo, 29, who tied the knot with Accelerated Digital Media Founder and CEO Tellef Lundevall in Hyannisport, Massachusetts. The couple celebrated with family and friends in a beautiful ceremony where Mariah donned a gorgeous lace wedding gown.

The bride and groom wed on the historic Kennedy family compound, which has three beautiful homes on the plot that overlooks the ocean. Photos shared by Mariah on her Instagram Story, show how magical the day was.

A stand-out image depicts Mariah’s breathtaking garment in its full glory. The blushing bride opted for a stunning strapless dress which had an elongated train. Elevating the outfit, Mariah’s wedding gown featured intricate lace patterns on the top half of the dress and at the bottom of her train.

Opting for simple glam, she sported classic makeup and left her curled tresses cascading down her back. Mariah completed her look with a dramatic veil and carried a pretty cream and white-colored bouquet of flowers. She accessorized with stud earrings, a diamond necklace, and bracelets.

Pictures of the well-decorated setting highlight the fact that the duo exchanged vows outside with the gorgeous backdrop of the harbor. Mariah and Tellef said “I do” underneath a striking floral altar.

Beautiful images shared by Mariah’s doting mother, Kerry Kennedy, show more precious moments from the big day. One striking photo shows the gorgeous bride excitedly getting ready for her special day with her bridesmaids and mom.

Another shows Mariah and Tellef, who looked dapper in his chic black suit, sharing a passionate kiss after exchanging vows at the altar.

The next picture shows a close-up of Mariah’s pretty bridesmaids, which included her two sisters, Michaela and Cara Kennedy Cuomo, standing outside as they held onto their flower bouquets.

Their corset dresses, which had subtle floral prints and diamantes along the bust line, perfectly complemented the bride’s gown.

Kerry’s second last photo in her Instagram carousel shows Mariah attempting to cut her huge white wedding cake. The beautifully classic dessert was so enormous that Mariah had to stand on a mini ladder, which her husband held onto, to reach the top.

Last but certainly not least came a touching photo of Mariah sharing a dance with her doting father, Andrew Cuomo. The picture shows the former Governor of New York impressively dipping his daughter low as he held onto her.

“Love is in the air! Getting ready with Mariah, Michaela, and Cara for Mariah’s and Tellef’s special day!” captioned Kerry alongside her carousel post. Richard Mary Monti, the former President of the Italian Trade Agency, who was a guest at the wedding, also shared his own post on Instagram.

He shared a smiling selfie of himself surrounded by other guests and the bride. He penned a heartfelt, lengthy caption expressing his gratitude to have been present.

A part of his message stated, “Great respect for the wonderful Kennedy family, for their friendship, for their love for Italy, their dedication and for being so resilient to life’s tragedies, thanks to their unique energy and generosity.”

Other images shared by another guest gave followers additional glimpses into the wonderful day and celebrations. A heartwarming photo shows another moment from the father-daughter dance, where Mariah and Andrew swayed underneath a white tent strewn with shrub-framed chandeliers.

A hilarious photo shows another angle of the gigantic wedding cake with a little girl standing next to it to emphasize just how large it was. “and this cake (w/toddler for scale),” read the text that was layered over the image.

Another striking picture captured Tellef and Mariah being lifted into the air as they sat on chairs. Tellef also waved around a white rag as he held onto his wife’s hand.

There was also a photo showing guests dancing up a storm on the wooden dance floor while others cheered them on and clapped their hands from the sidelines.

Another sweet picture showed a group of little kids sitting around in a circle as some of them enjoyed some delicious-looking chocolate cake with plastic forks.

Before getting married, Tellef popped the big question to Mariah last year (2023). In a post that Mariah shared on Instagram on November 23, 2023, she proudly let the public know that she was spoken for.

The two photos she posted showed Tellef getting down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage, with the ocean situated behind them.

Showing off her gorgeous diamond engagement ring, Mariah’s second photo displayed how happy the couple was to be betrothed. “That’s amore! Love you and yes a million times over @tellef920 ❤️,” penned Mariah in her caption.

From the love-filled pictures and captions, it’s clear that Mariah adores her husband, whom her dad approves of. During a 2020 brief on the pandemic, Andrew also shared a few words about how he feels about Tellef, who was still just Mariah’s boyfriend at the time.

She had brought him to a family dinner which took place after she helped her father update the nation about the pandemic. Joking with the public, Andrew advised fathers to always say they like their daughters’ boyfriends because if they don’t, the daughter will develop Natural Defiance Syndrome (NDS).

“It’s not documented, but it is a psychological condition where if you say as a father ‘I don’t like him,’ natural defiance syndrome kicks in and then they like the boyfriend more because he is opposed by the father. So the answer has to be like, ‘I like the boyfriend,’” quipped Andrew Cuomo.

After carrying on with the joke for a little bit longer, Andrew made it clear that he genuinely likes Tellef. He had even posted a photo of him, Tellef, and Mariah taking a walk with his shepherd-Siberian-malamute mix puppy, Captain. “The boyfriend is very nice and we like the boyfriend,” Andrew clarified during the news conference.

Looking at Tellef’s profile on The Jewish Grad Organization website, it becomes clear why he got Mariah’s dad’s stamp of approval. Apart from his Chicago-based digital marketing and analytics firm, Tellef worked for Google as part of their Google Marketing Solutions division.

He has had an active role with the Kaplan Family Foundation since 2012 and serves as a co-chair and trustee of their environment committee. By the summer of 2020, the young exec was voted onto the Executive Board at Embarc Chicago.

Tellef also studied at and graduated from Brown University in 2013 “with a dual-concentration in Economics and Geology.” He also played varsity basketball and football while there.
