The Empire State Building was bathed in blue in honor of the wedding.  It was a nod to the tradition of “Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”

The Hollywood Reporter says Star Wars star Mark Hamill jokingly posted; “Congratulations to the newlyweds! I declined to attend the wedding for a variety of personal reasons, but mainly because I wasn’t invited.”

Naughty But Nice says Taylor Swift made every wedding guest sign an NDA. The rule covered family, lifelong friends, and people in her inner circle.  Guests were asked to surrender their phones. A source says, “There were absolutely no exceptions. If you wanted to know where to go, when to arrive, or what the schedule looked like, you signed the NDA first. No signature, no details. Taylor’s own family signed the paperwork. Being family didn’t earn anyone special treatment. Everyone played by the same rules. Taylor knows the world is obsessed with every detail of her life. One screenshot, one forwarded message, one loose conversation, and suddenly the entire wedding is online. She wasn’t willing to let that happen.”

Many barely knew the couple at all. It had that Harry and Meghan feel. There were real friends there, of course, but there were also lots of famous, important people who had no real connection to Taylor or Travis. The guest list became its own spectacle.”

But it doesn’t extend to some of the front office people, so there’s some feelings there. And also, not everyone on the team has the same invite. A few who he’s closer to have more info and it sounds like there’s something smaller that they get to go to.”
