George Clooney's wedding to Amal Alamuddin is set to happen today in a twilight ceremony that is attended by many celebrities, paparazzi and media outlets from around the world.

The 53-year-old "Gravity" actor is set to exchange wedding vows with 36-year-old British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in Venice.
Since news that George Clooney's wedding will take place in Venice this weekend broke, several media outlets from all over the world have congregated, specifically at the Aman Canal Grande Venice resort, to take a glimpse of the widely anticipated event.
Clooney was photographed looking very happy when he arrived in a water taxi, alongside his family, which included his father, Nick Clooney.
The "Ides of March" actor is reportedly sporting an Armani tuxedo to his wedding, and he even waved to the photographers and local onlookers, who offered their best wishes to the couple, shouting, "George, auguri! Auguri!"
George Clooney's wedding to Amal Alamudddin will be at Venice's seven-star Aman Canal Grande Hotel this Saturday while the civil ceremony is set to happen on Monday at the 16th-century Palazzo Cavalli adjoining the Ca' Farsetti, the town hall were civil weddings are usually carried out.
On Friday, Clooney and his lovely bride were spotted cruising the canals of Venice, looking impeccably happy and glamorous while riding a motorboat named "Amore," CNN has learned.
Around the same time, some of the couple's guests arrived at the hotel, where the wedding is set to take place. Some of the first guests include Matt Damon, American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband.

On Sept. 7, after a long time of silence, Clooney officially confirmed that he is marrying Alamuddin around this time.
"I met my lovely bride-to-be here in Italy, whom I will be marrying in a couple of weeks, in Venice, of all places," he said. "I would just like to say to my bride-to-be, Amal, that I love you very much and I can't wait to be your husband."
Some of the notable guests attending George Clooney's wedding include: Bono, Emily Blunt, Sandra Bullock, John Krasinski, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Bill Murray and Julia Roberts, among others.
Lana Del Rey is reportedly singing at the reception, alongside Andrea Bocelli.
