Weeks of rumours are finally over. 
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially married. 
Swift's publicist confirmed the news Friday night as screens outside New York's Madison Square Garden (MSG) lit up with the words: "JUST&T MARRIED!" 
So many details remain under wraps, but here's what we've been able to piece together about the couple's big day at the arena in midtown Manhattan. 
## The ceremony details 
Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Paine, released an official statement confirming some of the details, including that Adam Sandler, star of *The Wedding Singer* and other hit comedies, officiated the wedding (Paine described him as "a friend" of the couple). 
The two did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen; instead, Swift's brother, Austin, served as her man of honour, and Kelce's brother, Jason, was his best man. 
The bride and groom were both dressed in custom Christian Dior haute couture, designed by the creative director of the famed fashion house, Jonathan Anderson. 
Swift was decked out in Cartier jewelry, and their shoes were custom Christian Louboutin. 
And get this: Taylor’s something blue? 
The Empire State Building. 
Yup. 
The iconic landmark was lit up in light blue "in honour of the newlyweds" shortly after details of the ceremony began to emerge. 
NBC news reported that Swift and Kelce wrote their own vows and that each took about 20 minutes to read, with Swift even singing part of hers and Kelce wiping away tears through his. 
Celebrities on the guest list, which reportedly topped 1,000, included actress, singer and close friend of the bride Selena Gomez; director Steven Spielberg; singer Camila Cabello; actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Zoë Kravitz; and models Gigi Hadid and Karlie Kloss. 
From the NFL world, Seattle Seahawks receiver Cooper Kupp and JuJu Smith-Schuster of the New York Giants were seen headed into MSG.

## A peek inside? 
The <u>Daily Mail</u> published what the U.K. tabloid said was footage from inside the venue. 
Screenshots posted to social media showed the interior decked out in greens and pale pinks. 
A castle-looking structure in the centre, surrounded by trees and other foliage gave off a whimsical, garden-like feel. 
One image showed a glowing monogram of the couple's initials entwined with hearts hanging on a wall surrounded by photos below a ceiling adorned in peach and white drapery. 
**WATCH | It's a love story, baby, she said yes:** 
Rumours of a Stevie Nicks performance turned out to be true. 
Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts, who attended the wedding, confirmed that the Fleetwood Mac singer took to the stage. 
Her co-host, George Stephanopoulos, was also there, and he emphasized the night’s intimate feel, describing a "garden inside the garden, which is so beautiful." 
"It's hard to imagine that a place that big and a wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate," he said. 
Several outlets reported that Paul McCartney performed the Beatles hit *I Want To Hold Your Hand. 
* 
No-parking notices posted on barricades outside the venue referred to a "film shoot" of a "performance at MSG" taking place between June 20 and July 4, suggesting the night might have been filmed. 
Those hoping for a trusted, more personal account of what went down inside didn't quite get the goods when the mother of the groom, Donna Kelce, was asked to share some details while taking part in Macy's 50th Fourth of July celebration in New York the following day. 
"I really can't say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical, " the former *Traitors* cast member said in a video posted to the Macy's Instagram account. 
## Love from their famous friends 
Several stars who attended posted to social media after the event and shared their well wishes with the newlyweds. 
"Congrats on the most beautiful wedding @taylorswift13 @tkelce i'm still crying and dancing," country star Kelsea Ballerini wrote on X. 
Actress Niecy Nash also shared a video on Instagram. 
"The love in the room was palpable," she wrote. 
"Wowwwwwww‼️ 
is the best way to describe it. 
From beginning to end no detail was spared!" 
Director Joseph Kahn posted that he got to meet Steven Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw, at the star-studded wedding 
"It was so much funnier and emotional than expected, " he wrote on Instagram. 
"And as big as it was, it also felt very intimate. 
And yes, literally everyone was there."
