The bride and groom aren’t the only ones who get to have a little fun on their wedding day.
While Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce walked down the aisle at their 1,000-person MSG wedding in Christian Dior Haute Couture, friends George Kittle and Robert Tonyan Jr. had their own custom looks up their sleeves.
The football players arrive wearing suits made by designer Mitch Purgason — a navy striped look for the the San Francisco 49ers tight end and emerald green on the former Kansas City Chiefs player — but secretly commissioned him to whip up two more for a show-stopping surprise.
They approached Pergason on Monday, just five days before the big bash, with the epic idea to incorporate one of Kelce’s favorite movies into the wedding; he dutifully crafted two “Dumb and Dumber”-inspired tuxedos (complete with ruffled shirts) just a few days.
The final looks were finished just 45 minutes before the wedding, Purgason told Page Six Style exclusively, with no guarantees that the football players would be able to sneak a bag with the custom tuxedos through security and into the venue.
They were successful, with Kittle posting a pic of the black duffle bag used to transport the items as well as their final looks on Instagram Sunday.
And the drama didn’t stop there. Purgason couldn’t find the dress shoes for Kittle, and the duo decided to go with sneakers for a more comfortable option. However, when the designer tried to pick up the pair that he had on hold at Foot Locker in Herald Square at 1 p.m. (just a few hours before guests were meant to arrive), road closures almost foiled him.

No matter; he jumped out of his Uber and ran 15 blocks (in 100-degree weather, it should be noted) in order to deliver them in time to George’s hotel.
We’re told the crowd went insane when the pair emerged in the outfits and hopped onstage with Travis.
In addition to being one of Kelce’s favorite flicks, “Dumb and Dumber” also has a place in his love story with Swift; the Super Bowl champ said he took inspiration from Jim Carrey’s tap-dancing scene when he made his surprise appearance onstage at Swift’s London Eras Tour stop.
Perhaps Taylor and Travis could borrow the looks for Halloween.
