He wasn’t there as “The Wedding Singer,” but Adam Sandler<\/a> played a pivotal role in the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce marriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swift’s representative confirmed that the actor-comedian officiated the July 3 ceremony<\/a> at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

While seemingly an unconventional choice, Sandler, Swift and Kelce have been in each other’s orbit for several years.<\/p>\n

Swift<\/a> has become good friends with Sunny and Sadie<\/a>, Sandler’s teen daughters with wife Jackie. At a 2023 screening of Swift’s concert documentary<\/a>, “The Eras Tour,” the singer made a point to stop by Sandler’s row and chat with the girls for a few minutes.<\/p>\n

The Swift-Sandler friendship extended to Kelce, who revisited his acting chops with an appearance<\/a> in last year’s “Happy Gilmore 2,” the sequel to the 1996 breakout comedy for Sandler.<\/p>\n

Kelce played a bully of a restaurant manager<\/a> who fires a busboy (played by Bad Bunny). The busboy, Oscar, fantasizes about slathering honey over Kelce’s bared chest as he is tied to a pole, leaving him to be eaten by a bear.<\/p>\n

Back in real life, Swift and Kelce did not have bridesmaids<\/a> or groomsmen, but members of their family by their sides. Swift enlisted brother Austin as her man of honor and Jason Kelce served as the groom’s best man.<\/p>\n
