Adam Sandler officiated the wedding of pop star Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce, held at New York's Madison Square Garden on 3 July. According to an unnamed source who spoke to People magazine, the comedian said "yes right away" when asked to lead the ceremony, describing himself as "incredibly honoured" to take part in the high-profile celebrity nuptials.

Sandler, 59, was seen as a fitting choice given his own long marriage — he and his wife Jackie recently marked their 23rd anniversary. The source said he simply "wanted to speak from the heart" rather than stage a big production. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who attended, praised Sandler's "touching" advice, recalling his suggestion to "kiss every chance you have, every day." Sandler and Kelce had bonded while filming Happy Gilmore 2, and Sandler has previously spoken warmly of Swift's importance to his daughters. Few other details of the ceremony have emerged.
