Travis Kelce is speaking now about his and Taylor Swift's unforgettable wedding. 

After the Grammy winner tied the knot with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at Madison Square Garden in New York City in July, Kelce reflected on how the wedding was one straight out of their wildest dreams, noting that he's indeed a "married man" now.

“It’s been so much fun, it was insane,” Kelce said during the Sept. 2 episode of the New Heights podcast. “It was a night we’ll never forget. Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up. From the vows to the seeing everyone to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening, and hearing that being relayed through everyone’s stories of that night—it was just so magical man, I wish it could have lasted longer than it did.”

The NFL star also noted of the end of their ceremony that “once the drinks stopped being served, everyone starts to mosey out.”

“But thank you to everyone at MSG,” Kelce continued. “We wanted it to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions and we needed to have a private feel, and MSG went above and beyond to give us that and I can’t thank everybody enough, that showed up but helped put that show on.”

Kelce also gave a shoutout to their officiant Adam Sandler.

“He has been just the f--king best person on this planet,” he explained of the comedian. “For him to be up for getting ordained in the state of New York and marrying me and Taylor And the way he did it, in the very Sandman style, and giving us more than what we could’ve imagined at that moment, knowing that it was the biggest night of our lives, it was absolutely insane man.”

Swift and Kelce said their I do’s in front of 1,000 of their closest family and friends in NYC July 3, confirming their nuptials with screens reading "JUST&T Married" outside their wedding venue MSG.

Though the duo welcomed quite the guest list to New York—including Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney who serenaded the pair during the reception—family took center stage at the event.

After all, Swift’s brother Austin Swift acted as the bride’s Man of Honor while Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce served as the groom’s Best Man. 

As the NFL star's mom Donna Kelce told Macy’s of the event one day later, “I really can't say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man, magical.”

Magical indeed. Take, for example, the newlyweds’ wedding day style. 

"The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture," a press release obtained by E! News began. "They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom.”

"The ceremony joined both families together," the statement added, "and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler."

Though the Grown Ups alum is known for his humor, Kelce’s Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed the comedian was the man when it came to offering advice on how to keep a relationship burnin’ red.

"He told them to keep kissing," Reid—who attended Swift and Kelce’s wedding alongside wife Tammy Reid—shared at a Salt Lake City event July 5, per The Deseret News. "So, in its simplest form, that's a good thing."

"It’s hard to argue when you give your wife a kiss or your wife gives you a kiss," he continued. "Make sure you do it every day, every minute that you have an opportunity to do it. Knock it out, and you won't have problems."
