Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Wouldn't Be 1st Couple to Get Married at MSG

If the reports are indeed correct, Taylor Swiftand Travis Kelce won't be the first couple to get married inside New York City's Madison Square Garden.

Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in August 2025, subsequently playing coy about plans for their big day.

"I think the wedding is what happens after [my Life of a Showgirl promotional tour] in the scheme of the planning, but I'm so excited about it," Swift said on the Graham Norton Show in October 2025. "I know it's gonna be fun to plan because I think the only stressful weddings are the ones where you have a small amount and people are on the bubble."

In the months that followed, speculation swirled that Swift planned to walk down the aisle inside MSG over the 4th of July weekend in 2026. The rumors reached a fever pitch days before the would-be nuptials when dozens of supply trucks were spotted dropping off decor and food at the arena.

Even so, Swift and Kelce's "whimsical" wedding is hardly the first time that couples have exchanged vows at MSG. Keep scrolling to look back at the venue's history of marriage ceremonies:

The Unification Church hosted a group wedding in July 1982, where 4,000 followers were matched and married by Reverend Sun Myung Moon.

The New York Timesreported at the time that the arena floor had been carpeted in white and all 2,000 couples donned identical outfits. The grooms wore blue suits, with the brides donning matching lace-and-satin gowns made by the church.

"It was wonderful. The marriage vows were very impressive," groom Bruce Burris told The Times, noting he planned to move in with his new bride, Sanae Tsuchida, following the church's 40-day waiting period. "I think so, yeah, I'm pretty sure."

Burris was matched with Tsuchida by the church leaders, only meeting a "few hours" before the ceremony.

The couples marked their 40th wedding anniversary in 2022.

"The men and women gathered here for this wedding have dedicated themselves to the highest standards of love and service to God, to each other, and all mankind," Moon said in a press release, noting some of the couples' kids were recently "blessed" in marriages of their own this year.
