Taylor Swift's Wedding Does Not In Fact Seem to Have Been Tacky
So now that we actually know a bit of what happened at the wedding, I think we're finally at a point where a bit of nuance is possible. At 4:00 on July 3rd, celebrities, musicians, athletes, and randos from Cleveland and Wyomissing descended on Madison Square Garden. Inside there seems to have been a hell of a party... people were still leaving at 6:00 AM of the fourth.
Details have emerged over the past few days, and they describe a wedding of two people utterly in love. The space was apparently magically transformed into a secret garden (in the garden). There was no parade of models escorting the bride and groom; they were accompanied only by their siblings. Adam Sandler married them... but really the ceremony seems to mostly have consisted of Taylor and Travis' vows. Friends of the newlyweds played songs (ok... those friends happened to be Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks). The food was from restaurants that the couple loved... this seems to have included Krispy Kreme donuts (the likelihood that fried chicken and seemingly ranch was served is 100%). There were carnival games and prizes (ok... the prizes were cartier watches and american muscle cars). No one seems to have left quite sober.
Taylor's wedding was black tie... but by not telling anyone a theme, she seems to have creatated this world where no one quite understood what it meant. So everyone dressed fabulously, but just slightly the wrong way... almost embodying taylor herself who also always looks fabulous, and just slightly wrong! It was black tie with donuts. Black tie with Adam Sandler. The most gorgeous of secret gardens, in the most banal and yes tacky of spaces. Ferris wheels, kisses and lilacs...and things you said were dumb. Has any wedding ever better expressed the personality of the bride and groom than that.
The thing I get from the description of the wedding by its attendees was shock. Shock at how perfect and magical this celebration of love was. Taylor is very good at being in love.
Oh... and no... as of yet she has not sold viewing right to her fucking wedding.
