Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce tie the knot in private MSG ceremony

NEW YORK (AP):
Pop star Taylor Swift and football champion Travis Kelce officially tied the knot at Madison Square Garden.
Adam Sandler officiated, which both delighted and confused those who had been guessing who would have the high honour. Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, served as her man of honour, and Kelce’s brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce served as the groom’s best man.
The event was attended by hundreds of celebrities, athletes and close friends and family. Singer Camila Cabello, actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis and models Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid were among the guests. New York Giants wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle also attended. Actor Laura Dern was photographed leaving.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who previously had a close relationship with Swift, were reportedly seen in upstate New York over the holiday weekend and did not attend.
Zoe Kravitz was in attendance, but her fiancé – Harry Styles, an ex of Swift – was in London on tour.
Hosts of Good Morning America, who were invited, confirmed Saturday that Stevie Nicks performed. The couple wrote their own vows.
“As intimate as it could possibly be, given it was Madison Square Garden. Really, this garden inside the garden, just so beautiful,” George Stephanopoulos said. “It’s hard to imagine a place that big and a wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate.”
Nicks and Swift have been close friends for years, ever since the two performed a duet in 2010 at the Grammy Awards.
Swift and Kelce wore Christian Dior Haute Couture by its designer, Jonathan Anderson, with shoes custom-made by Christian Louboutin. Swift wore Cartier jewellery.
A spokesperson for Christian Dior Haute Couture confirmed that the wedding looks were designed by Anderson, saying they were created in Paris in “close collaboration with the couple”.
Many rushed to celebrate the happy couple. The Empire State Building said it lit up in blue to serve as Swift’s “something blue” for the big day. Elmo posted a poem congratulating his friends for saying “I do”. 
The global superstar and her star football player husband quickly received warm and joyous reactions to their marriage. Dolly Parton jokingly teased before the wedding that she wanted dibs on their firstborn child while singing her famous lyrics “I will always love you”. The couple donated US$2 million to Parton’s Imagination Library earlier that week as part of giving US$26 million to local and national charities across the US.
