Korea's power couple Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo will get married Tuesday, October 31, 2017 and no details about the wedding have been made available to the public.

News bombarded the interwebs on July 5 when the two main casts of the 2016 hit drama "Descendants of the Sun" made a surprise announcement through their management agencies that they would get married on Oct. 31. And unfortunately for fans, that bit of information was all that was shared with them.

Up until now, there has been no official statement about the wedding details like a venue, time and a honeymoon destination despite wide and speculative coverage, even by Chinese media.

Though a photo of the invitation circulated in the internet because a guest have "kindly" uploaded a photos, much for the fans' hype.

On Monday, a day before the wedding, Blossom Entertainment and United Artists Agency (UAA), which represent the two stars, said that they were not able to confirm anything, citing that the marriage is a "personal matter."

While many celebrities keep their weddings low-profile, they generally share basic details and often, briefly appear in front of the camera before the wedding. However, the same is not an arguable issue to the Song-Song couple for the couple have not spilled anything in public.

However, it is believed that the two will be getting married at 4:00 P.M. (KST) and the venue will take place at Youngbingwan, Shilla Hotel in Seoul and only a relatively small number of guests, consisting of 250 of their closest family and friends, are expected to attend this exclusive celebration.

While a few details of the ceremony have been made public, the couple previously revealed that there will be no wedding officiant, but that a longtime friend of Song Joong-ki will host the ceremony. Also, singer-turned-musical actress Ock Joo-hyun, Song Hye-kyo's close friend, will sing for the couple.

The two will jet off to Europe for their honeymoon, amid expectations that they will settle down at a residence in Itaewon-dong, Seoul, that Song Joong-ki bought in January. Specific plans for the couple's honeymoon are yet to be revealed.

All eyes are also on who will be attending what is likely a star-studded event. The list of celebrity guests hasn't been released, but local media have been speculating that actor Park Bo-gum, who shares the same agency as Song Joong-ki's, and actor Lee Kwang-soo, Song's longtime friend, are very likely to attend the wedding. Other celebrities expected at Tuesday's wedding include actor Zo In-sung, who starred in the movie "The Frozen Flower" with the groom, and actor Cha Tae-hyun, who is often described as Song Joong-ki's lifetime mentor.

Star studded wedding

It appears as though the Song-Song couple's wedding, which the media has already dubbed "the wedding of the century," is shaping up to be even more glamorous.

Lee Kwang Soo and Park Bo Gum, two of Song Joong Ki's dearest friends, and Yoo Ah In, Song Hye Kyo's closest agency colleague, are reported to have a participation in the star-studded ceremony.

According to multiple insiders, "Park Bo Gum will play the piano at the Song-Song couple's wedding," and "he plans to congratulate the couple by playing a meaningful song on this special day for Song Joong Ki, his most beloved hyung and sunbae."

They also reported that "Lee Kwang Soo, who has been a close friend of Song Joong Ki's since their 'Running Man' days, and Yoo Ah In, who is Song Hye Kyo's dear friend, will wish them well for the future through readings of letters they have personally penned." Song Joong Ki's agency has since confirmed the reports.
