Swift and Kelce’s Wedding Rule Revealed by Kittle
Kittle revealed the couple told guests to bring “absolutely no gifts” to the wedding but still has something in mind, particularly for Kelce.
“They said absolutely no gifts. But I was thinking, Travis for some reason really likes old coins, so I might get him an old coin,” Kittle said. “Sounds expensive, too.”
Kittle Confirms He’ll Be on Dance Floor Despite Injury
One thing is certain, however: Kittle will be on the dance floor for the event, despite still rehabbing the torn Achilles he sustained in the NFL Playoffs earlier this year against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I will be on the dance floor,” Kittle added.
In terms of his rehab, he said he is “taking small steps in the right direction,” and that “we’re checking off all the boxes, and we’re trudging in the right direction.”
