Festivities reportedly began with a rehearsal dinner on July 2, attended by about 100 family members and close friends, a few of whom just happen to be other A-list celebs like Selena Gomez.<\/p>\n<p>Sources told the outlet that guests are expected to begin arriving around 3:30 p.m. through a private VIP entrance covered by a tent. The ceremony is reportedly scheduled for 5:30 p.m., followed by a cocktail hour and reception expected to continue until 2 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>The event will feature musical entertainment, while crews have transformed the arena with an elaborate production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is going to be an absolute, spectacular blowout,\u201d People editor-in-chief Charlotte Triggs said during an appearance on \u201cCBS Mornings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to a source, it doesn\u2019t look at all the same inside.

It has total security. Also keep in mind, she\u2019s very familiar with it.
