The union of the global pop star and NFL athlete marks one of the most high-profile celebrity marriages in recent years, drawing intense international media attention to the city.

Prior to the main ceremony, the couple hosted a rehearsal dinner [4]. That event included around 100 guests [4]. The wedding venue, Madison Square Garden, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the U.S. [1, 2, 4].
There are some discrepancies regarding the timeline of the events. While some reports state the marriage has already occurred, BBC News reported on a rehearsal dinner with around 100 guests [4] but did not confirm the completion of the wedding ceremony itself.
