Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were married at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, with the couple's permit filing putting the event's regulatory tab somewhere north of $10,000, according to Page Six's July 8 report.

More than 1,000 guests attended the ceremony at the Seventh Avenue arena, a venue that seats 20,789 for basketball and carries a permit process to match.

Attendees did not leave empty-handed. The event included a raffle with high-end prizes, the specific items and values of which have not been fully itemized in public reporting as of this filing.

Swift, 36, and Kelce, 36, had kept pre-wedding logistics tightly managed, with limited advance detail reaching the public record before Friday. The permit filing, by its nature, is not optional.

Madison Square Garden's address is 4 Pennsylvania Plaza. The permit is a matter of public record. The raffle prizes, as of press time, are not.
