The groom wore a white tuxedo, the couple wrote their own vows and Stevie Nicks sang, according to guests at Friday’s star-studded wedding of megastars Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in an intimate garden built for the occasion within New York City’s Madison Square Garden arena.

Details trickled out on Saturday of the lavish nuptials ‌that had been a closely guarded secret. Their union was confirmed on giant billboards that flashed “JUST&T MARRIED!”

The pop music superstar and football player have not released any photos, but a few attendees offered a flavour of the event.

Several described a garden setting inside the cavernous and windowless arena where thousands usually attend basketball and hockey games, rock concerts or ice skating shows. The site had been viewed as an unusual choice to exchange wedding vows.

The setting was “as intimate as it could possibly be ⁠given that it was Madison Square Garden,” said anchor George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s Good Morning America. “Really this garden inside the Garden. Just so beautiful.”

“It’s hard ‌to imagine that a place that big and a wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate,” he said.
