Travis Kelce’s friend has revealed a strict rule that the NFL star and his wife Taylor Swift have ahead of their upcoming mega-weddings.
The Kansas City Chiefs star is set to marry Swift, one of the world’s biggest and most popular musicians, in a huge ceremony in the relatively near future, and speculation has turned to the venue, the guest list, and the events of the day itself.
According to reports, the wedding of the year will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York, fit for around 1,000 guests.
The guest list is expected to include people such as Selena Gomez and her new husband, Benny Blanco, Cara Delevingne, Swift’s famous friend Ed Sheeran and even her famous ex Robert Pattinson.
Also on the guest list is NFL star George Kittle, and he is the one who revealed one very specific rule that the couple have put in place ahead of the big day.
The San Francisco 49ers tight end, who will attend the wedding with his wife Claire, said that the happy couple have specifically said that no guests are to bring gifts.
When he was pressed on what he’d be bringing, Kittle said: “They said absolutely no gifts.”
It makes sense when you think about it - what do you buy the couple that already has everything?
However, Kittle is still going to bring something along for his fellow football star.
He added: “But I was thinking Travis, for some reason, likes old coins so I might get him one of those.”
Then, when pressed for a message for the couple ahead of their nuptials, he said: “Just have so much fun with all your friends.”
The truth is, we aren’t quite sure yet - but we have some ideas.
It is expected that the pair will marry at Madison Square Gardens over the Fourth of July weekend, and a statement from the mayor’s office in New York said that a permit was filed in early June asking for road closures from July 2 to July 4 around the venue.
It has also been reported that many of Kelce’s Chiefs teammates had booked hotels in the nearby area for that same period.
It seems as if there might be a number of events planned, with some rumors suggesting that there will be a smaller event on July 2, followed by a massive party on July 3, with rumored music performances as well.
There have also been suggestions that this venue could all be a decoy, and that Swift may actually be having her big wedding elsewhere, but this would be a lot of effort for that.
Taylor Swift podcaster Nicki Vleisides told BBC News: "MSG is where music and sports come together at the most famous venue in the world,
"The more I've thought about it, it kind of seems like the perfect choice for both Taylor and Travis and their respective industries."
His podcast co-host Andie Furber added: "No drones or paparazzi can get in or out, and Taylor, Travis and guests can enter underground from blocks away with no chance of getting photographed.”
