Justin Timberlake and the future Mrs. Timberlake Jessica Biel threw a bash for their wedding party on a beach in Puglia, Italy yesterday.

Us Weekly reports that more than 50 guests attended the fete at Cala Masciola beach, including the pop star’s SNL partner Andy Samberg along with music manager Johnny Wright and his wife Erika. Even with chilly temperatures, they dined and enjoyed cocktails at the beachfront setting that was decorated with lanterns. The celebration was capped with an impressive fireworks display.

Before the evening festivities, their guests were transported from their hotel to a local tourist spot for a lunch with traditional Italian costumed entertainment.

Page Six exclusively revealed that Biel and Timberlake are expected to marry just outside Naples, Italy this week. One 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.”

The pair got engaged last December after five years of dating, when Timberlake popped the question during a vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
