Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has given longtime bachelor and former Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) his blessing.

The governor has decided to allow out-of-state justice of the peace and Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to marry Kennedy and his fiancee, Amy Petitgout, in a July 15 ceremony, according to the Boston Herald.

The couple will be joined in holy matrimony at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. The guest list is limited to family and close friends of the bride and groom.

So, we’re guessing the Arnold’s invitation has been lost in the mail.
