Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift pulled off quite the wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City earlier this month.
The 36-year-old tight end and the 35-year-old pop star got married at the home of the New York Knicks in Midtown Manhattan. They welcomed more than 1,000 guests to the arena. It was quite the spectacle.
However, some of Kelce and Swift's wedding guests thought their wedding plan was "a joke," due to who was officiating the ceremony.

Comedian and actor Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony. Fans couldn't believe it at first.
Wedding guests thought it was 'a joke'
American Century Investments CEO Jonathan Thomas, who knows Kelce “fairly well,” spoke about the wedding during a podcast appearance on the Thursday episode of the “Compound and Friends” podcast.
“Adam Sandler officiated it,” he said.
“He came down, everybody laughed and thought it was a joke at first.”
But it ended up going very well.
“He actually spoke for 20 or 30 minutes, vacillated between funny, very sincere, sang a few things. There are two things that I remember distinctly, one is in your typical vows the officiator says, ‘For rich or for poor,’ and he said, ‘You’re not going to have to worry about that.'” Thomas recalled.
It was an emotional scene.
“Travis went first with his vows,” Thomas shared. “He probably spoke for 30 minutes and I don’t want to violate his privacy but I was crying, which I was trying to hold back. He made himself unbelievably vulnerable. And then I look around and there’s all these 300-pound men from the football business crying as well, so I felt really comfortable to let go on it.”
All in all, it sounds like a lot of fun was had.
