The woman who caught Taylor Swift‘s bouquet has been revealed to be a relative of the Kansas City Chiefs!
The unbelievable coincidence stemmed from Travis Kelce‘s teammate, Trey Smith, attending the highly publicized union between the sensational singer and the athlete on Friday, July 3.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot, surrounded by love, at Madison Square Garden, with Trey Smith attending alongside his lucky sister, Ashley Smith.
Ashley proudly flaunted her victory at Swift and Kelce’s union on Instagram, revealing that she had caught the “Opalite” hitmaker’s bouquet during the ceremony. The carousel of images featured the media personality’s stunning black dress for the event, along with a shot of her with her younger brother, Trey.
She shared two images with the bouquet, which appeared to include pale pink flowers, Sweet Pea, and Queen Anne’s Lace. Parts of the flowers were bent, and a good portion of it was missing, presumably from the struggle to catch the bouquet. One shot showed Ashley posing with the flowers for a mirror selfie.
Another image showed her lying on the bed with the flowers by her head. She raved about her lucky moment in the post’s caption, writing, “Celebrated an Enchanting Love S(T&T)ory. And somehow…I ended up catching Tay Tay’s bouquet.” Ashley added:
“So here’s to believing it’s bringing a lifetime of love, luck, and laughter my way. Congratulations, Taylor & Travis! Cheers to forever T&T.”
The Newlyweds Gifted Guests Embroidered Napkins
More pictures from the carousel Ashley shared included what appeared to be a wedding keepsake. She shared a picture of an embroidered napkin featuring intricate lace edges and lyrics from Swift’s 2014 hit “Blank Space”: “So it’s gonna be forever.”
The wording also featured the date and location of the ceremony, along with the couple’s intertwined “T” monogram featuring two hearts. Although Ashley caught the bouquet, she was not one of Swift’s bridesmaids, as the bride and groom skipped the tradition.
PEOPLE reported that the newlyweds had no groomsmen or bridesmaids at their event. Instead, the entertainer’s brother, Austin Swift, served as her man of honor while her husband’s brother, Jason Kelce, served as his best man.
