Pop superstar Taylor Swift and American football player Travis Kelce have officially tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony officiated by comedian Adam Sandler.
The pair both donned Christian Dior, according to Swift's longtime publicist, and elected to skip bridesmaids and groomsmen. Instead, Swift's brother Austin Swift served as her Man of Honour and retired American footballer Jason Kelce was the groom's Best Man.
The event at Madison Square Garden shuttered one of Manhattan's busiest corridors and brought out Hollywood's A-list for what was likely the bash of the century.
Actors Hugh Grant and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone and model Gigi Hadid were among those spotted.

Hordes of fans huddled outside throughout the day Friday, some singing Swift tunes and donning concert merch, while others climbed scaffolding hoping to catch a better view of the festivities.
The celebration at the arena kicked off on Thursday with a much smaller event, where a reported 100 people were thought to attend. A permit filed with New York City officials called the event a "pre-party".
On Friday, a much larger event led to a tent being erected outside the arena that doubled in size from Thursday. A stream of blacked-out SUVs pulled through the structure, allowing many guests to shield their arrival while streets in Midtown Manhattan were closed to traffic. Crews at the sport arena set up curtains and gazebos for the massive event.
Swift's longtime publicist Tree Paine confirmed to the BBC that the two wed on Friday in New York City and offered details from the ceremony. Around the same time, Madison Square Garden lit up massive signs around the complex reading "JUST&T MARRIED" - a nod to both Taylor and Travis's names.
Paine said Swift and Kelce wore wedding ceremony looks 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," Paine said in a statement, adding that their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.
Throughout the day, excitement filled the air, with a heavy police presence in the stifling heat. Temperatures reached 37C (98.6F).

The New York City Police (NYPD) closed the streets around the arena midday, closing them off completely to vehicles and pedestrian traffic, which were diverted by barriers.
Even with curtains and tents erected to shield guests from the barrage of news cameras and anxious fans, many captured celebrity guests leaving hotels and arriving to the venue. Model Gigi Hadid, in a pink sparkly dress, and actor boyfriend Bradley Cooper were spotted on the way to the ceremony. Singer Benson Boone and actress Dakota Johnson were also photographed.
Actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke, Jason Sudeikis and several members of Kelce's football team were among those seen arriving to the wedding in plain view, while other A-list guests were also noted.
