Donna Kelce has summed up her son Travis Kelce's wedding to Taylor Swift in one word.
The mother of the groom attended Macy's 50th Fourth of July Celebration in New York City on Saturday (July 4), where she was asked about the couple's private ceremony at Madison Square Garden.
While the 74-year-old kept details to a minimum, she couldn't hide her excitement over the occasion and described the event in one word.
"I really can't say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical," she said in an interview posted on Macy's Instagram on Sunday (July 5).
In the same interview, Donna reflected on family memories with her sons, Travis, 36, and Jason Kelce, 38.
"I remember I used to take the boys down to Lake Erie and we would watch the fireworks in Euclid, Ohio, and we had the best time," she said.
The Grammy-winning superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, officially tied the knot on July 3 in an intimate but celebrity-filled ceremony inside the iconic venue.
At around 7:30PM, LED signs outside the iconic New York venue lit up with the message "JUST&T MARRIED!", referencing the couple's first initials.
Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony and, despite its A-list guest list, details of the event were kept tightly under wraps.
Swift's representative confirmed to PEOPLE that both the bride and groom wore Christian Dior Haute Couture.
"The bride and groom's wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women's, Men's and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom. This is the designer's first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry," the statement read.
Rather than having bridesmaids and groomsmen, the couple chose to honor their siblings.
"Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen," her rep said. "Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor's Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis' Best Man."
The ceremony reportedly featured emotional vows lasting around 20 minutes each, before guests were invited into the reception by Swift's mother.
"Taylor walked down the aisle to a stage where they said 'I do,' [and] their vows were about 20 minutes each," an insider told the outlet. "After the ceremony, Taylor's mom invited everyone into the reception room where a stage was set up [for guest performers]."
The reception reportedly included special performances from Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks.
The wedding guest list featured a host of famous faces, including Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Dakota Johnson, Ed Sheeran and Hugh Grant, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner, Zoë Kravitz, Jason Sudeikis, Ethan Hawke, Jimmy Fallon, and Tommy Hilfiger.
With so many high-profile guests in attendance, security was reportedly extremely strict.
According to Page Six, attendees were required to sign non-disclosure agreements. At the same time, four workers were allegedly "reprimanded" on Thursday night after reportedly "taking pictures" at the couple's reported intimate rehearsal dinner with guests.
The outlet reported that the workers were employed through the union rather than directly by MSG.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally made it official in a huge wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Friday night (July 3).
Arguably the biggest pop star in the world tied the knot with the NFL star in a ceremony littered with celebrity guests, with comedian Adam Sandler officiating.
The newlyweds wore Christian Dior, according to Swift's publicist, and decided not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen.
Instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her man of honor, while Kelce chose his brother, former NFL star Jason Kelce, to be his best man.
Around 7:30PM local time on Friday, LED signs outside the venue displayed text that read “JUST&T MARRIED!”
The “T&T” part represents their first initials, which were also on guest merchandise for the event.
Roads in the area were shut for one of the biggest celebrity events of the century, as Manhattan came to a standstill for the stars.
Speaking to The Independent, Swift's representative Tree Paine said: “The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture.
“They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom.
“This is the designer's first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom-made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry,” the statement read.
Unsurprisingly, a number of blacked-out SUVs were deployed to allow guests to shield themselves from any photographers or fans waiting to get a glimpse.
Streets in Midtown Manhattan were closed in preparation, as crews at the arena set up curtains and gazebos for the celebration.
Some of the celebs spotted around the venue include actors Hugh Grant and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, and model Gigi Hadid, who wore a sparkly pink dress.
Actress Dakota Johnson was also pictured, while numerous members of Kelce's football team could be seen, though they arrived at the wedding in plain view while many other guests chose to exit under the enormous tent erected for privacy reasons.
TV presenter Graham Norton, who was famously invited to the wedding when Swift was a guest on his talk show, was also seen arriving at the wedding.
Fans huddled outside the venue on Friday, with many wearing concert merch while belting out Swift tunes, as others climbed scaffolding in an attempt to get a better view of celebrations.
The wedding celebrations began on Thursday (July 2) in a far smaller event, with a reported 100 people believed to have been present.
A permit with New York officials has been made public, calling the event a "pre-party."
The following day, a far larger event was held, with police presence on the heavier side while temperatures reached 37C (98.6F) in New York.
The NYPD closed streets off to vehicles and pedestrian traffic around the arena around midday.
Despite the curtains and tents put up to shield guests from paparazzi and fans, many managed to get snaps of celebrity guests arriving at the arena.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially married - and all eyes are on what the bride wore when she walked down the aisle at Madison Square Garden.
The couple, both 36, shut down New York's most iconic venue for their nuptials, which took place on Friday, July 3.
Their wedding had been months in the making, with fans given only small glimpses of the decorations as they were loaded into MSG ahead of the big event.
While several AI images of Taylor in a wedding dress quickly circulated the internet, no official photos have yet been released of the bride and groom.
However, details of her wedding dress have been shared, with a representative for the singer confirming she and Travis were both wearing Christian Dior Haute Couture.
The rep told Page Six that the newlyweds' outfits were designed by the French fashion house’s new creative director Jonathan Anderson “in close collaboration” with Taylor and Travis.
Both outfits were made in Dior's ateliers at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris, and this is Anderson's first couture bridal gown for a major celebrity.
Dior had reportedly won against some stiff competition in the form of Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, Oscar de la Renta, and Vivienne Westwood, to be chosen to design Taylor's wedding dress.
According to TMZ's sources, Taylor's dress was described as a "long gown with a train".
The couple's footwear was no less lavish, as both Taylor and her NFL star husband wore custom-made Christian Louboutin shoes, while Taylor's jewelry was from Cartier.
The Grammy Award winner's stunning engagement ring is a custom old mine ring made by Artifex Fine Jewelry’s Kindred Lubeck, who worked with Travis to design it.
The big day was dubbed the wedding of the century, with 1,000 people in attendance, including Taylor and Travis's family and friends, as well as a host of A-list guests.
The pair opted not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen, but instead had their brothers joining them, with Tay's brother Austin serving as her man of honor, while Travis's brother Jason was his best man.
Jason and his wife Kylie's children also reportedly served as flower girls, who threw petals at Taylor's feet as she walked down the aisle.
The ceremony was officiated by comedian and actor Adam Sandler, who reportedly sang a "humorous yet touching" original song he had written about the couple and their love, according to TMZ.
Food for the event was reportedly catered by Zero Bond, one of Taylor's favorite places to eat in New York, which she visited just a couple of weeks ago to celebrate the Knicks' Game 4 win in the NBA Finals.
Guests were also reportedly able to enjoy "carnival-like games" after the venue was transformed, with insiders comparing the decor to "Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz", with a greenhouse and garden built for the day.
Now, fans are eagerly awaiting the first official photos of Taylor and Travis as a married couple.

Travis Kelce's mom has sat down for a chat about what it's like spending so much time with Taylor Swift, saying that she feels like she's in an "alternate universe".
You've probably heard all about the Taylor and Travis rumors, but in case you've somehow dodged it let me really quickly bring you up to speed.
The speculation started after Travis reached out to Taylor at an Eras Tour show and the pair started hanging out, including the singer attending NFL games.
To further fuel the rumors, the pair were spotted leaving the Kansas City Chiefs locker room together and Taylor has been very friendly with Travis's mom...
So speaking about Donna Kelce, who is living every Swiftie's dream by being pals with Taylor, she recently opened up on the Got It From My Momma podcast about her experiences.
To begin the conversation, Donna said what most people are thinking: "The NFL is laughing all the way to the bank. Good for them. They’re getting the ramifications of everything."
According to the New York Post, viewership of the games that Taylor attends spiked dramatically, and Travis has seen a 400% increase in jersey sales since the rumored romance began.
Donna said: "I can tell you this, that they’ve told me personally that the Kelce family has done more good PR for football than they could’ve paid a million dollars to a PR firm."
The reasons? Donna said: "It’s just because we’re relatable. We’re just normal. We’re genuine. We’re authentic, and we don’t put any airs on or try to be someone that we’re not."
Despite the backlash from NFL fans, Travis' mom believes that Swifties tuning into the game probably "know more about football than half the people that watch football right now."
"I had one dad who (direct messaged) me and he said, 'I can finally – finally my daughter is watching football with me'," she said.
But what's it like to hang out with Taylor?
Describing it as a "whirlwind," Donna went on: "I feel like I’m in an alternate universe, because it’s something I’ve never been involved with before.
"I thought it would be over at that point, but it seems to just continue, and every week just seems to trump the week before. So it’s really kind of wild, a wild ride."
But what does Travis think of the attention that Taylor and himself are getting?
The NFL star has spoken out on his podcast with his brother Jason Kelce about the coverage.
"I think it's fun when they show who all is at the game," Travis said. "I think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you're watching."
Travis went on: "But at the same time, I think they're overdoing it a little bit for sure. Especially my situation."
"They are not there to get thrown on the TV," he said. "You never know you get caught throwing down a big old cheeseburger and you look like an idiot. There are certain things you just don’t want to be on TV at all times."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot this week, celebrating with a lavish event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The couple shut down some of the busiest roads in Manhattan and took over at the city's most iconic venue to celebrate their marriage on Friday (3 July).
Swift and Kelce walked down the aisle in outfits designed by Christian Dior, after months of rumors surrounding their special day.
Fans were only given glimpses into the star-studded event in Midtown Manhattan, as a large tent was erected in front of the arena, allowing guests to arrive in a private setting.
Contrary to images of Taylor Swift in a wedding dress circulating online, which have since been revealed to be AI, no official wedding photos have been released of the bride and groom.
But for the first time, some of the names on the guest list have been revealed.
The A-list couple was joined by close friends, family and fellow celebs at the iconic New York venue.
While the full list has not been released, a number of big names were spotted arriving at MSG to celebrate one of the biggest events of the year.
Despite several big names being rumored, the actual list included the likes of the following, as reported by Page Six:
It was also since been reported that talk show host Graham Norton, actor Jason Sudeikis and singer Benson Boone were in attendance.
Most of the guests partied with the newlyweds until the early hours of the morning, hours after LED signs outside the venue displayed text that read “JUST&T MARRIED!”
There were no bridesmaids and groomsmen, with the couple deciding to have one person each.
Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her man of honor, while Kelce chose his brother, former NFL star Jason Kelce, to be his best man.
Speaking to The Independent, Swift's representative Tree Paine said: “The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture.

More information about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded wedding has been leaked to the media.
Arguably the world's most famous couple, the pair tied the knot in a massive wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Friday night (July 3).
Numerous celebrities were invited to attend the ceremony, which was officiated by comedian Adam Sandler.
It was confirmed by Swift's publicist that the happy couple wore Christian Dior, and decided not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen.
At around 7:30 PM, LED signs outside the venue displayed text that read “JUST&T MARRIED!” in a reference to the first initials of their names.
But the details of the wedding were largely kept under wraps, with guests reportedly made to sign NDAs to avoid leaking anything to the press.
It's already been leaked that Lena Dunham suggested that "American football is just straight guys reenacting gay porn" in her speech, while the newlyweds handed out diamond-encrusted party favors to guests.
But a new video has revealed that the celebrity couple transformed one of the most iconic arenas in the world into a green wonderland for their special day.
It was confirmed that the likes of Selena Gomez, Hugh Grant, Jason Sudeikis, Bradley Cooper, Gigi Hadid, and Sabrina Carpenter were in attendance, among others.
But now, leaked footage released by the Daily Mail has offered Swifties a first look at the interior that was experienced by A-listers at the wedding.
It looked like something out of a Disney film, with the wedding party packed around a fantastical-looking altar before making their way through "hidden" doors to enter the reception.
Speaking to the publication, one attendee claimed that guests went into "the festivities room" behind these doors after the ceremony, with Candi Staton's tune 'Young Hearts Run Free' playing in the background.
This room was decorated with trees, greenery and archways, as the guest said it was similar to a "whimsical Tinker Bell fairytale."
Speaking about the venue, guest George Stephanopoulos explained: "It was really this garden inside The Garden. It was just so beautiful," with the Good Morning America host one of the names included on the guest list.
It was reported that pictures of Swift and Kelce featured on walls of a peach and white hallway in MSG, in large gold frames, with a "T and T" logo featuring several times in the wedding.
According to Page Six, photos revealed pieces of furniture with this logo featured as a monogram being moved into MSG for the wedding.
As well as this, trees, emerald drapery and a large gazebo were taken inside, with orange armchairs, cocktail tables and green chairs also spotted and snapped.
Small details were a common feature at the wedding, with a red 1970s Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport seen with a number plate reading "JUST&TMRD" at MSG.
It's said that the likes of Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw performed at the wedding reception, while Sandler also performed a humoros song of his own.
