The wedding bells can be heard really loud because Justine Timberlake and longtime lover Jessica Biel are tying the nuptial knots this week near Naples in Italy. The would-be-couple are tight lipped about any details of the upcoming wedding with even no official announcements regarding it.
According to several reports, the festivity for an intimate wedding ceremony has already kicked off. Apparently the pair has taken ‘extra precautions’ to ensure their wedding does not turn into a media circus.
“They are ready to get married,” a source close to the couple told Us Weekly.
The report added that celebrations for the wedding commenced on Tuesday, preparing for an ‘intimate, rustic ceremony’ that will be attended by family and friends this weekend.
On Wednesday, the couple hosted a pre-wedding beach party dinner for over 50 guests in Puglia, Italy, where the guests enjoyed cocktails, music and dancing.
Later in the night, the crowd was treated to an impressive, July Fourth-worthy fireworks display and about an hour later, all the guests returned to the exclusive resort.
The would-be-man & wife who are gearing up for the upcoming wedding and according to recent reports, Biel was spotted at a bridal boutique in Paris. The ‘Friend with Benefit’ actor was seen celebrating a bachelor’s party bash in September with pals in both Las Vegas and Mexico.
The couple’s friends and family have been unaware about the exact location of the nuptials.
“A private plane was flown out of New York to take guests to Italy, including both their publicists. But the event has been shrouded in a lot of secrecy, and not even the guests were told the exact location or day of the wedding before they left.”
An insider revealed the wedding guests were required to sign confidentiality agreements and were given no details about where the ceremony will be taking place.“They were told just to fly to Italy.”
“The wedding was top-secret, hush-hush,” a close friend of the couple reportedly told to in a mag interview.
“Save-the-dates went out in the spring and little information was given. Guests were warned that any phones or cameras would be confiscated, so best to leave them at the hotel.”
Another source told that the lovebirds chose the venue for the wedding ceremony as the location “means a lot to both of them”.
The source said, “The wedding is happening outside of Naples in a tiny town this week. It is their favorite place, a location that is very special to them. There will be a few hundred guests, and the maid of honor will be Jessica’s longtime best friend, Lindsay Ratowsky.”
Though the nuptial details are a top guarded secret, guess the pop singer is planning for a sweet surprise for fiancée, Biel.
It has been reported that Timberlake has been “secretly rehearsing” a wedding dance with his ushers and best man for Jessica to the tune of her favorite ‘N Sync track, It’s Gonna Be Me.
“Justin has been working on this for months. Jessica used to love the track growing up and he wants it as a special treat,” says a source.
“It will be very much tongue-in-cheek. There will be loads of exaggerated boy band moves and poses. She’s going to love it,” the source further added.
The singer-turned-actor spoke candidly about his lover during a press conference earlier this month.
“She’s a really, really, really special person,” Timberlake told. “Plus, she’s really, really, hot!”
He added futher, “I think it’s important to remember that you go into something like marriage knowing that you don’t know very much about it at all. But I do look at the marriage of my mother and stepdad, and what makes it work for them is that it’s a team effort.”
“[Biel] is single-handedly the most important person my life,” Timberlake stated earlier this year. “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, ok? I just don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me – for instance, her.”
Recently, Biel claimed to have made only little plans for the wedding.
“I’ve done almost nothing! I’m just enjoying being engaged. I do feel like there is a lot of time and nothing needs to be rushed. Everyone tells me that being engaged is the really special moment,” she told in an interview in August.
“Not that it gets bad when you get married. But being engaged is just absolutely amazing. You’re in this romantic, ahhhhhh, breathless moment that I’m just trying to extend as long as possible.”
Earlier this month, Jessica told reporters that she’s no “bridezilla” and is “pretty much as cool as a cucumber” when it comes to wedding planning.
“Jessica’s stylist, Estee Stanley, who is also Justin’s partner in his home décor business HomeMint, has been helping to plan the wedding.”
Timberlake, 31, and Biel, 30, proposed to his longtime girlfriend 10 months ago in December 2011 during a vacation in the mountains of Jackson, Wyoming with impressive diamond engagement ring.
This will be the first marriage for both Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Congratulations to the happy couple-t-be on their impending nuptials!
