Stars Around My Scars

Happy 3 years to this post that started the change to The Prophecy as documented in The Fate Of Ophelia.

It's a love story, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce said yes!

The superstar singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, married in a splashy wedding ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City on July 3.

For the momentous occasion, the happy couple had various spaces of the iconic arena transformed.

"It looked like a forest," an insider tells PEOPLE exclusively of the decor, which included ferns and trees, with the arena seats covered in white.

During the ceremony, “Taylor walked down the aisle to a stage where they said ‘I do,'" says the source, who adds, "their vows were about 20 minutes each," and Swift and Kelce read them from gold books. The pair also provided guests with embroidered handkerchiefs for any emotional moments throughout the evening.

“After the ceremony, Taylor’s mom invited everyone into the reception room where a stage was set up," adds the source, who says Paul McCartney performed The Beatles' beloved hit "I Want to Hold Your Hand"; Stevie Nicks was also on the lineup of A-list performers.

At the reception, guests noshed on bites from food stations with Italian cuisine, sushi and passed trays, and "there were bars everywhere," says the source, who adds that despite the size of the venue, "It was very crowded!"

Speculation can finally come to an end. Before she said “I do” to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift said “I do” to a dress — from Dior.

A statement provided by a representative for Swift confirmed that the designer of her wedding gown is Jonathan Anderson, the newish creative director of the French house, who, since he joined last year, has been charged with revitalizing its global profile. Making what may be the single most high-profile dress of the year — likely to inspire innumerable copycats — is one way to do it. No photos of the dress have been released.

It’s a coup for Anderson, especially following Dua Lipa’s choice of Dior rival Chanel for her recent wedding. It’s a win for Delphine Arnault, the chief executive of Dior, who fought to bring Anderson to the brand. And it’s confirmation that Swift, whose taste tends to the fairy tale rather than the avant-garde, eccentric or understated, and has never seemingly bought into the snobbism of the high fashion world, was thinking about posterity as much as princesses when it comes to this particular event.

Getting the hot new designer at one of the most storied couture houses in Paris to design your dress, like situating your wedding in a giant arena smack in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world, on one of the busiest weekends, is a flex.
