America's Royal Wedding: Taylor and Travis Are Married!

[el henry]

Yes, I am excited.

I am old and cranky and couldn't really tell a Taylor Swift song. I am not a Chiefs fan (although I like the Kelce podcast). I am still excited. This is fun. I love love.

If you are a snarker and think you have something clever to say, my old lady cyber cane is at the ready. If you are excited too, sweet.

and in preparation for the wedding:



Donations are donations. I spent much of my life as the president of a non profit Board. I don't care if it was like two cents to the person donating, I would take it and spend it and do good with it. Good for them!

What an amazing act of charity. It seems that they carefully planned this out to cover all the areas they are interested in. I can only imagine what the phone calls meant to those charities when they found out they were getting such large contributions. And they couldn't have happened at a better time in our country!

Dolly Parton's thank you to Taylor and Travis for the 2 million dollar gift to Imagination Library (which some governors, ahem Missouri, have defunded). and she literally wants their first born

So I updated the header.

Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness!

and the official statement from Madison Square Garden:

Wayyy too many stories and guests to post until we get some official pics. But I loved this story:

Paul McCartney Played Beatles Classic for First Time Since 1964 at Taylor Swift's Wedding

Paul McCartney performed the Beatles classic "I Want to Hold Your Hand" live for the first time since 1964 at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

If this is tacky, I wish my wedding, and every wedding I ever attended, was this tacky

I can't resist another post.

I have read the NY Times Sunday Styles wedding announcements for 40 years. They have a peculiar fascination and I enjoy reading them. They crafted a traditional one for T & T.

Not being snarky....I really dont care about the event or the people or the US tax structure since the 1950s for that matter....(I like Ike)
May their marriage last, unlike some rich people we all know....
But yes, I do care about rich people who share their wealth for good causes. I care that Kim Yuna donated to the Japan earthquake victums.
I care that Billionaire Dan Starks donated way over $150 million to help veterans share their stories. Good on them.
Taylor Swift: Known for her significant contributions to animal shelters, notably making a massive donation to the Williamson County Animal Shelter in Tennessee
Dan and I. He volunteers as a docent at his museum and he is an amazing lecturer.

If you look at the list of charities, they also donated to food banks and children's organizations. Having followed Travis for quite a few years I know that his 87 and Running foundation has provided an enormous amount of support to the youth of Kansas City. Looking out for young people is not a new concept to him. I don't care what anyone with a small or narrow mind thinks of Travis and Taylor but they have proven again and again to be a class act. Yes they have a lot of money but both have worked very hard to earn it, haven't forgotten their roots, are super family oriented and basically good people. I wish more celebrities and sports stars had the same humility and care for paying it forward.
