Mark Hamill wants everyone to know there wasn’t any drama behind his absence from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.
Just two days after the couple’s star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden, the “Star Wars” legend shared a playful Instagram post explaining exactly why he wasn’t among the celebrity guests. Posting a photo of Swift and Kelce together, Mark congratulated the newlyweds before delivering the punchline.
“Congratulations to the newlyweds!” he wrote. “I declined to attend the wedding for a variety of personal reasons, but mainly because I wasn’t invited.”
The self-deprecating joke quickly caught fans’ attention, with many joining in on the fun in the comments.
Fans Couldn’t Resist Playing Along
Mark’s followers wasted no time responding with jokes of their own. “Weird coincidence, same here,” one fan commented. Another invited the actor to a future family gathering, writing, “You are welcome to Thanksgiving at our house this year!”
Several fans even promised Mark a wedding invitation of his own someday.
“If I ever get married, please accept my wedding invite,” one person wrote, while another joked, “I’ll get married again if you can come!”
Others pointed out that Mark already has experience officiating weddings thanks to his memorable guest appearance on “The Big Bang Theory,” where he officiated Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler’s wedding during the Season 11 finale.
