Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce skipped a traditional bridal party to honor two special loved ones at their Madison Square Garden wedding in New York City on Friday.<\/p>\n

Swift chose to have her younger brother, Austin Swift, as her \u201cman of honor,\u201d while Kelce\u2019s older brother, Jason Kelce, served as his best man.<\/p>\n

In the most surprising twist yet, the couple\u2019s officiant was Adam Sandler, who shared a screen with the groom in the 2025 sports comedy \u201cHappy Gilmore 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor has also appeared on the Kelce brothers\u2019 \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast numerous times.<\/p>\n

After Sandler pronounced Travis and Taylor husband and wife, the words \u201cJUST&T MARRIED!\u201d appeared atop a pink background on multiple digital screens surrounding the outside of the iconic arena.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, the Empire State Building served as their \u201csomething blue\u201d with perfectly timed lighting.<\/p>\n

Though photos have not yet been released, Page Six is told the pair\u2019s wedding ceremony looks were created by\u00a0Christian Dior Haute Couture, designed by Jonathan Anderson.<\/p>\n

Anderson is the creative director of Dior Women\u2019s, Men\u2019s and Haute Couture Collections, and he worked in \u201cclose collaboration\u201d with the duo to create their ensembles.<\/p>\n

This is a big day for the him, too, as we\u2019re told the bride\u2019s gown is his first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity.<\/p>\n

Taylor and Travis both wore shoes custom made by\u00a0Christian Louboutin, with the pop superstar opting to accessorize with Cartier\u00a0jewelry.<\/p>\n

She and the NFL star exchanged vows in front of family members, friends and A-list peers, including Jason Sudeikis, Dakota Johnson, Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, Kelsea Ballerini, Benson Boone, Maren Morris, Hugh Grant, Jimmy Fallon, Erin Andrews, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Mitch Schwartz, Eric Stonestreet and more.<\/p>\n

As we\u00a0previously reported, Taylor and Travis\u2019 big day began with a 4 p.m. cocktail hour on the sixth-floor concourse of MSG, with doors opening at 3:30.<\/p>\n

The ceremony itself took place at 5:30 on the arena floor, followed by the reception, which will run from 6:30 to 2 a.m.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the nuptials, Page Six exclusively learned that an area of the arena\u00a0had been set up as a forest, complete with trees and carpet that resembles grass.<\/p>\n

The area also features a space reserved for games and activities concealed behind long, flowy curtains, we were told.<\/p>\n

Notably, Travis\u00a0proposed to his girlfriend of two years in the garden-esque backyard of his Kansas home in August 2025.<\/p>\n

We were told the approximately 1,000 wedding guests lucky enough to score an invite to the blowout bash\u00a0would be treated to performances by Stevie Knicks and Tim McGraw\u00a0while\u00a0indulging on top-notch food.<\/p>\n

Taylor and Travis, both 36,\u00a0hosted a more intimate rehearsal dinner\u00a0Thursday night for 100 of their closest loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuests ate, drank and hung out on a pink carpet,\u201d a spy told Page Six of the event, which took place at the Infosys Theater inside MSG and ran from 6 to 10:30 p.m. Dinner was catered by one of the singer-songwriter\u2019s favorite restaurants, Sartiano\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

We heard chandeliers and\u00a0peach-and-pink floral arrangements\u00a0decorated the space and that each guest\u00a0received a bejeweled keepsake as a party favor.<\/p>\n

Attendees were photographed leaving the festivities clutching black velvet boxes etched with the lovebirds\u2019 initials.<\/p>\n

An insider told us each box was presented with a fabric-printed image of what appeared to be the garden from Taylor and Travis\u2019 engagement and that the box itself contained a crystal-encrusted champagne flute.<\/p>\n

Page Six exclusively learned earlier this week that the two legally wed in a private manner before their elaborate celebration.<\/p>\n
