After months of speculation and predictions, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding day is here.

The couple is expected to welcome around 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday to celebrate their marriage, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the security planning. Festivities kicked off with a rehearsal dinner Thursday night, also at MSG, with about 100 family and friends on the guest list.

The couple's big day will include the typical wedding rundown of a cocktail hour, ceremony and then reception, with the celebration expected to stretch into the early hours, the sources told CBS News. But that may be the only thing typical about this star-studded event, which was planned under the tightest secrecy.

Private security will be in place at the famous venue, and the New York City Police Department is expected to handle any influx of fans and paparazzi that show up. Streets directly around Madison Square Garden will be closed.

Guests should begin arriving around 3:30 p.m. via a special VIP area covered by a tent, the sources said, with the ceremony set for 5:30 p.m. and the party expected to go till 2 a.m.

The event will feature musical entertainment and crews were building a massive set inside the arena for the occasion.

"This is going to be an absolute, spectacular blowout," People magazine editor-in-chief Charlotte Triggs told "CBS Mornings." "According to a source, it doesn't look at all the same inside. They've completely transformed it."

So far, details from inside the venue have been hard to come by. But reporters have been watching for days as a parade of 18-wheelers delivered and unloaded supplies, mostly under wraps.

It's safe to assume the famed basketball arena and concert venue will be decked out for a one-of-a-kind celebration,

Their paternal grandparents were still alive with clear minds, but physically unable to attend. Other close kin (including my wife and I) couldn’t afford to attend

A clear indication that the couple was entirely clueless about the nature of marriage.

once the wedding is over

It's already over. They're already married and this spectacle is just a reception.

Worthless knowledge from a worthless “couple.” Why post this crap?

i remember when marriage was a sacrament - before show-biz and conspicuous consumption — for friends, family - not your 1000 “closest”! good luck,folks.

I agree. Seems like they could just have a quiet, beautiful private wedding. I don’t get it, but of course they are free to do whatever they want. A spectacle is what they want and that’s what they will have.

Have any of you ever prepared a guest list only to be surprised at how many people are on it? We are nobodies, yet when you start with 2 families and their “must invites”, friends of 2 sets of parents (unless there is a divorce thus more), friends of bride and groom, spouses and kids of guests, all of a sudden, you have 300 people or more!

From what I’ve seen, they had an intimate wedding in Nashville the other day, and this is a party to celebrate. Considering that both are in high profile professions, I’m not surprised that they are having 1000 there. I’m surprised it’s not 2 or 3 times that! And since both are quite rich, I’m cool with them giving a lot of money to a lot of people to have a grand time. Why not? Working on this party has made some businesses really happy!
