There have been scant details about Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s marriage at Madison Square Garden to superstar singer Taylor Swift, but we did know that actor/comedian Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony.

Wouldn’t you love to know what Sandler said?

Well, Chiefs coach Andy Reid — of all people — shared the advice Sandler had for the happy couple.

Reid was the guest narrator Sunday for a “Music and the Spoken Word” broadcast in Salt Lake City in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. There was a news conference for the event, and Krysyan Edler of the Deseret News shared video of Andy Reid recounting Sandler’s advice for Swift and Kelce.

“Adam Sandler conducted the service there and he told them to keep kissing,” Reid said. “So, in its simplest form, that’s a good thing. It’s hard to argue when you give your wife a kiss, or your wife gives you a kiss. And make sure you do it every day, every minute that you have an opportunity to do it. Knock it out, and you won’t have problems.

“In a simple, hysterical way, he was phenomenal. He’s crazy, but he did a great job in getting them married with a lot of humor. But, that part there I thought” pretty good advice in its simplest form.”

Reid’s wife, Tammy, was at her husband’s side on Sunday and noted they frequently smooch.

“And he does that,” Tammy said.

Edler wrote about the Reids’ advice for the happy couple. They agreed on the kissing thing.

“I would say communicate, which is big. I mean, we kind of live two different lives,” Tammy Reid added, per Edler’s story. “He’s at football and I’m at home and I’m doing the kids and stuff. So I think just communicate, know where everybody is all the time and just — that’s the way you stay involved with your family. But yeah, talk about everything.”
