It’s really funny because I feel like … I’m probably [almost] approached more because [Scarlett’s] less approachable. So, you know what I mean? Because I’m on TV, I have like a lesser … people are just like, I’m in their living room, so they’re just like, ‘Hey, what’s up, man, how’s it going?‘

According to the Greek edition of the Huffington Post, Karlaftis and Harris got married during a private three-day celebration at One&Only Aesthesis.

Guests kept their phones turned off and had even handed them over for safekeeping. Publicity stayed outside the door.

Kelce and Swift arrived at the wedding in a private jet and stayed on a yacht near the hotel. The same source also revealed that Swift “danced all night long, away from cameras” to make sure the spotlight shimmered on the couple rather than on herself. For that one night, Swift was only a guest at a friend’s wedding. The source said:

[Taylor Swift] danced with the couple and her fiancé [Travis Kelce]. All the guests were impressed by her simplicity. Kind and down-to-earth. She greeted everyone. She got food from the buffet herself, waiting in line like everyone else.
