Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Ditched Tradition With Their Unconventional Bridal Party

Leave it to Taylor Swiftand Travis Kelceto do the unexpected on their big day.

Rather than sticking with a traditional bridal party for their Friday, July 3 wedding, the newlyweds reportedly opted for something more personal during their star-studded wedding celebration at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Instead of choosing a maid of honor, Page Six reports that Swift honored her younger brother, Austin Swift, by asking him to serve as her “man of honor.” Kelce, meanwhile, turned to his older brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, to stand beside him as best man.

But perhaps the most unexpected wedding role of all belonged to actor Adam Sandler, who the outlet states officiated the ceremony.

Madison Square Garden officially confirmed the marriage during the festivities, lighting up digital signs around the iconic venue with the message, “JUST&T MARRIED!” around 7:30 pm Eastern Time as guests celebrated inside.

The lavish reception transformed the arena into an ethereal garden and welcomed an A-list guest list that included Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Miranda Lambert,Dakota Johnson, and many more.

The festivities came one day after the couple reportedly hosted an intimate rehearsal celebration at the venue. Multiple reports also claimed Swift and Kelce had quietly exchanged vows in a private ceremony before Friday’s larger celebration.

The wedding comes 10 months after the pair announced their engagement with a joint Instagram post that quickly became one of the biggest celebrity moments of the year. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” they captioned photos from Kelce’s romantic proposal in August 2025.

The over-the-top celebration reportedly came with an equally eye-popping price tag. According to TMZ, Swift and Kelce paid full price to host their wedding festivities at Madison Square Garden, with costs reportedly reaching well into the millions. The outlet reported that the couple secured the iconic venue for at least three days surrounding the celebration—one day for setup, one for the ceremony itself, and another for breakdown.
