Brad Paisley praised the couple's July 3 nuptials as refreshingly humble, calling the event of the decade "one of the least pretentious weddings" he'd ever attended.

"I took this personally when I got the invite, because in the invite, it said, 'If you're getting this, you mean a lot to us,'" Paisley told The Associated Press. "And it was really fun to watch the cat-and-mouse game of like, 'We can tell you roughly where it's gonna be. We're not gonna say what building... And here's the date, and if you're in, we'll tell you more.' And I was like, I went to my wife, I said, 'Want to go?' She's like, 'Absolutely. We've gotta be there.' So we did it. It was RSVP yes."

"Ironically, one of the least pretentious weddings I've ever seen, or ever will see," he added. "And so, yeah, it meant a lot to be... It was kind of a big thank you from her to invite us."

"I think we didn't have phones, and there was no sense of time in there," Kostek explained to Fox News Digital while attending Sports Illustrated Beyond the Pitch on July 18 alongside top athletes, celebrities and tastemakers during the World Cup. "I think I was probably on the dance floor for five straight hours. Shoes came off. It was so much fun."

Kostek recalled sharing the dance floor with country star Chris Stapleton and spotting Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts during what she described as a memorable night.

"I didn't dance next to Taylor, she was up on stage, and I was like dancing from afar with her," Kostek added.

Swift's representative revealed to Fox News Digital that the couple's wedding ceremony looks were designed by Jonathan Anderson of Christian Dior Haute Couture. The happy couple both wore white, and the "Life of a Showgirl" singer accessorized with Cartier.
