Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce exchanged vows in an emotional wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Swift reportedly walked down an extended aisle to a string quartet rendition of her 2008 hit song "Love Story."
A source told Us Weekly that both Swift and Kelce were highly emotional during their vows, with Kelce reportedly tearing up more than his bride. The vows included personal details and anecdotes that some guests had not heard before.
During the ceremony, Swift spoke about Kelce's high school days, recalling him as a "star athlete" who would sit with less popular students. She reportedly expressed a wish that she had known someone like him in high school.
Guests received embroidered handkerchiefs, a nod to Swift's 2014 song "Blank Space," which attendees used to wipe away tears. The wedding was officiated by Adam Sandler.
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid shared wedding advice he gave the newlyweds: "Kiss every chance you get — every chance you have, every single day." Reid described Sandler's officiating as "hysterical" and a "phenomenal" job filled with humor.
"Love Story," released in September 2008, was the lead single from Swift's album "Fearless." Swift, 36, discussed the song in a May interview with New York Times magazine, recalling writing it at age 17 after being upset with her parents for not allowing her to date an older boy. She called the song "the most romantic song" she had ever written in a 2009 Q&A with Time.
The couple, both 36, tied the knot on Friday. Details are emerging about the event, including the discreet invitations sent to guests and the 20-minute duration of their vows.
