Eastern Clothing outfitted the newly-elected congressman for his big day.
When Congressman-elect Joe Kennedy III tied the knot last month, he donned a suit made in Watertown. Kennedy married Lauren Birschfield on Dec. 3 in Corona del Mar, Calif., just a month after being elected to his first term as congressman for the 4th Congressional District.
