Although the couple met at a polo
match, Be admits she didn't even know
how to ride when they first started
going out


The couple are expecting their first child at the beginning of next year, the anniversary of their first romantic encounter. Be already has two daughters, Ashley, 14, and nine-year-old Autumn, from her first marriage. "Jack wants us to have his own family polo team," says Be. "There's already him and Autumn, so we need two polo babies to complete the team."

A professional polo player since leaving Harrow at 17, Jack has a match-packed schedule over the summer months, so he and Be chose a Monday - the polo international day of rest - for their wedding, to make sure all Jack's friends were able to attend. And polo is the theme. The couple are having a civil service on consecrated ground at the Hurlingham Club in London, where polo's first rules were drawn up in 1874. Be's daughters will be bridesmaids and Jack's sister Jemma the maid of honour.

POLO PLAYER JACK KIDD INTRODUCES HIS AMERICAN BRIDE BE KEMENY who is expecting the couple's first child


Jack Kidd has been many things in his 26 years: polo player - he has played polo for England since he was 16 - model and man about town. And now, following his wedding this week to 34-year-old American Be Kemeny, he embarks on two new roles ? those of husband and father. Although the two first met three years ago at a polo match in Barbados, nothing happened until Millenium eve. "Be was in a beautiful black dress and couldn't stop smiling at me as I danced like crazy," recalls Jack. "I was attracted by Be's kindness, gentleness and uncomplicated approach to life and I knew instantly that this was it, that Be was going to be my big love."
