Adam Sandler had a very special job to do on July 3, as he officiated one of the most famous couples in the world. The star broke his silence with a new social media post following Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's NYC wedding, confusing fans somewhat.
Taking to Instagram on July 4, Adam shared a picture of the United States flag instead of posting about the wedding, which somewhat confused fans. In the caption, he simply wrote: "Happy 250th America!!!!!"
Comments included: "Like this was the most interesting part of your weekend, okay..." and "You posted this and not your outfit for the wedding?" A third added: "Bro. Of all the things you did this weekend you chose today to make a post?"

GMA's George Stephanopoulos, who was one of the famous guests at the wedding, described Adam's words and the wedding itself to ABC's Sophie Flay. "The ceremony was great. Adam Sandler, funny and touching. Vows, everything you would hope for: real, vulnerable, serious and silly. Who knew that a wedding in Madison Square Garden could be so intimate," he said.

Adam's friendship with Taylor stretches back even further. The comedian has often spoken about how kind the singer has been to his family, particularly his daughters, Sadie and Sunny, who have met the global superstar several times over the years.

Taylor and Travis said 'I do' in front of around 1,000 guests, including many celebrity friends, transforming NYC's iconic sports arena into a fairytale wedding venue.
