Reports have swirled for months that Swift and Kelce plan to tie the knot on June 13 at the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. However, that may be just a ruse.<\/p>\n<p>DeuxMoi recently reported, \u201cMultiple sources say the couple\u2019s wedding is not some far-off event, it\u2019s moving quickly, with a timeline that appears to be accelerating behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile nothing has been publicly confirmed, insiders point to a ceremony expected sooner rather than later. We\u2019re also hearing invitations have already gone out. Not in a flashy, over-the-top way but quietly, and with very little information attached. Guests have allegedly been told to keep their schedules open, with final details expected to come much closer to the actual date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeuxMoi added, \u201cDespite a flood of online claims pointing to specific venues or destinations, there is still no confirmed site and that appears to be very intentional. In fact, some sources suggest even invited guests may not receive the exact location until closer to the event, a move designed to prevent leaks and maintain total privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/emilybicks\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Emily Bicks<\/a> covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Bills, Seahawks and Chiefs.
