The highly-anticipated wedding between pop star Justin Timberlake and actress Jessica Biel has finally commenced! According to reports, guests began to arrive in the southern town of Purgia, Italy on Wednesday, and were met with a beautiful cocktail reception at the exclusive beach club Cala Masciola. The casually dressed crowd sipped on wine and enjoyed the brisk evening which ended in a spectacular fireworks display. Considering this was just a pre-wedding ceremony celebration, the actual big day looks to promise a beautiful and amazing event!

Timberlake (31) and Biel (30) are taking "extra precautions" to keep wedding festivities away from the public's eye, but paparazzi still managed to snap pics of about 50 guests when they arrived in Purgia for the beach-themed cocktail party and dinner on Wednesday (Oct. 19). Among some of the famous guests included former "SNL" star Andy Samberg, "7th Heaven" actress Beverley Mitchell, and JT's music manager Johnny Wright. The luxurious cocktail reception took place right next to the Adriatic Sea and the scene was decorated with quaint lanterns and smooth background music (including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On"). At approximately 9:30 p.m. guests were treated to an impressive 10-minute firework display - soon after they returned to their rooms at the exclusive resort. Reports have it that this is the location where Timberlake and Biel will supposedly officially tie the knot.

So will the big event take place today? Tomorrow? Sunday? Or did they secretly already get the deed done! Such info is hush-hush, but it looks like the Hollywood couple is indeed ready to be married soon! Stay tuned for more details!
