Summary
- Shaquille O'Neal sarcastically thanked Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for wedding invites.
- Charles Barkley received an invitation but politely declined the wedding.
- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden.

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal humorously thanked Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce after learning that fellow NBA star Charles Barkley received an invitation to their wedding, while he did not. O'Neal made these remarks recently in New York City.
Barkley confirmed he was invited to the July 3 ceremony but politely declined, stating his general preference to avoid weddings and the anticipated 'crap show' of a large celebrity gathering. Barkley mentioned his desire to play golf rather than dress up for the event.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, exchanged vows on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in front of approximately 1,000 guests. The couple wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture. Their wedding party included Swift's brother Austin as man of honor and Jason Kelce as best man, with Adam Sandler officiating.
