The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Travis Kelce has given the first public account of his wedding to Taylor Swift, describing the ceremony at Madison Square Garden as "magical" and "a night out we'll never forget". Speaking on his podcast New Heights, the newly married NFL star also showed off his wedding ring for the first time.
The couple married at the famous New York arena, a choice Kelce said was deliberate. "We wanted to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions," he said. "We needed it to be a private feel."
The wedding brought together around a thousand guests, including a host of celebrities. Kelce recalled seeing Brad Pitt, Conan O'Brien and Paul McCartney, as well as his brother's high school teacher, Mrs Clark. "I see Paul McCartney and then all of a sudden I see Mrs Clark and I'm like what in the world," he said.
Actor and comedian Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony, and guests were asked to follow a strict no phones policy. Kelce said this helped everyone stay in the moment. "Not people not having to be on guard and like it makes everyone be in the moment and be present," he explained.
Official photographs from the day have not yet been released, so Kelce's comments and his ring are the closest the public has come to seeing inside the event. He said the night was "insane" and that he wished it could have lasted longer.
