With their wedding ceremony set for this Friday at Madison Square Garden, it appears Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are facing pressure to "reimburse" the New York Police Department.
Since this highly-anticipated wedding ceremony will take place in New York City, there'll be plenty of police officers on patrol to ensure everything goes smoothly. Page Six recently reported that Kelce and Swift requested street closures around Madison Square Garden.
"Hundreds of police officers are expected to be on patrol and roads will be closed in Midtown Manhattan for a private, two-day event at Madison Square Garden around the wedding of Taylor Swift, according to interviews and an internal police planning memo," The New York Times reported.

Nicole Malliotakis, the U.S. representative for New York's 11th congressional district, believes Kelce and Swift should reimburse the officers who'll have to work overtime because of their wedding.
"Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce should reimburse NYPD for the 130 officers needed per day to keep their multi-million dollar, thousand person wedding at MSG safe," Malliotakis said. "Our officers are already working overtime for 4th of July festivities & NYC taxpayers should NOT be on the hook."

It's going to be a huge celebration.
Kelce and Swift are expected to have close to 1,000 people at their ceremony. There should be a handful of celebrities at this event, including Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Zoe Kravitz, Ed Sheeran and Emma Stone.
“Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … every invitation is individually watermarked with the guest’s first and last name repeated throughout the invite, a security measure designed to identify anyone who leaks it online,” TMZ reported. “We’re told invitations began going out in early spring, with many guests receiving them around April. Our sources say if a guest were to photograph the invitation and post it publicly, Taylor and Travis would be able to trace it back to the specific attendee whose name appears throughout the invite.”
According to TMZ, Kelce and Swift spent around $3 million to rent out Madison Square Garden for three days. If that's true, this will go down as one of the most expensive weddings in recent memory.
