When the Chiefs re-signed running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire in April, the team shared the news on Instagram.

Tight end Travis Kelce was one of a number of Chiefs players who responded to that post. Kelce wrote: “My brotha forever!!! Let’s go get some more dubs!!!”

That wasn’t lip service.

Kelce and Edwards-Helaire are close, and that was evident this past weekend. Kelce left Europe and girlfriend Taylor Swift to fly to California, where Edwards-Helaire wed JoJo O’Conner on Saturday.

Edwards-Helaire invited other current and former teammates, too: running backs Isaiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon, along with wide receiver Kadarius Toney.

There were some fun photos and videos shared on social media from the reception. Edwards-Helaire’s 1957 Chevy Bel Air carried the happy couple away.

Take a look.

After supporting Edwards-Helaire and his wife, Kelce jetted back to Ireland where he was spotted at Swift’s final weekend concert in Dublin.

A second Chiefs wedding

Edwards-Helaire wasn’t the only Chiefs player who tied the knot this weekend.

Rookie offensive lineman Kingsley Suamataia married Lealani Falatea, a member of the Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team.

Falatea, who goes by Nani, previously played at BYU, which is where Suamataia was a star offensive lineman.
