Taylor and Travis wedding memo: Everything we know so far
The bride and groom wore Dior and Blake and Ryan were NFI
It's a love story, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just said, "Yes"!
At 7.30pm ET on Friday Swift’s long time publicist Tree Paine announced that the pair had tied the knot at Madison Square Garden. At the same time billboards outside the mid-Manhattan arena flashed up with a message from the bride and groom: “JUST&T MARRIED!”. America’s first couple were officially Mr and Mrs.
Even though the world was watching, the pair managed to keep a tight lid on what exactly went down at the event, and as I hit publish there isn’t a single confirmed photograph from inside.
So what do we know? Not a lot, but this is what we’re working with…
The bride and groom wore Jonathan Anderson designed Christian Dior. Shoes were by Christian Louboutin and Swift’s jewellery was from Cartier
Adam Sandler - who cast Travis in Happy Gilmore 2 - officiated
Taylor’s brother Austin was her ‘man of honor’ and Travis’ brother Jason was best man according to a statement issued by Swift’s team
No bridesmaids, but according to reports Jason and Kylie Kelce’s four daughters were flower girls
There were around 1,000 guests but apparently no space for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds leading some to speculate that their relationship has fallen apart in the wake of the It Ends With Us legal drama
Some guests managed to avoid cameras and the eagle eyes of MSG watchers camped outside, but this is who was seen on their way in, reported to have been there or who confirmed their attendance to the press:

It was rumoured that Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw would perform. Some have said Taylor also took to the stage. And the Daily Mail reported that Sir Paul McCartney performed I Wanna Hold Your Hand. A Barry White tribute band was also pictured entering the venue.
Given that barely any information has emerged from inside, Taylor’s wedding may turn out to be her greatest ever production. The big question now is whether the couple will release official pictures. If not then the Taylor playbook tells me that we’ll either never see it or it’ll be the cover art for her next album.

After I heard Sandler officiated I’m not sure I can take anything seriously. Did Travis have too much of a say in the planning? The “Just&t Married” feels so unlike something Swift would do. Am I wrong?
Uncool? It seems most inelegant to have anything wedding adjacent in a stadium but each to their own I suppose
