Swift and Kelce Wedding Guests Asked to Give to Charity

On November 11, the animal-welfare foundation serving Hancock County, West Virginia posted a photo of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce with Mike Simon, the NFL star’s longtime agent, and Simon’s wife, Lisa. The foundation said the couple had requested charitable contributions instead of wedding presents, and that the Simons chose the organization for their gift to the newlyweds.

The foundation did not disclose the donation’s size. Swift and Kelce have not publicly identified other charities that received contributions from guests.

The couple married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York, in a ceremony attended by about 1,000 people. Their guests included celebrities such as Selena Gomez and Adam Sandler. Details about the event have been limited, with the new photo among the few glimpses shared publicly.

The no-gift request was also described by Kelce’s friend George Kittle, who said in June that the couple wanted guests to donate to charities of their choice. The pair reportedly gave their 100 rehearsal-dinner guests diamond-decorated champagne flutes in black velvet boxes bearing their initials.

Other wedding festivities included games for guests, with prizes that reportedly included designer handbags and a golf bag. The couple have not released wedding photos themselves.
