00:00Okay, so here we are outside of the Dubai World Trade Center, and it's really hot.
00:05I don't know about you, Anshana, how are you feeling?
00:07It's absolutely really hot, but we are braving it because it's the big day today.
00:13It's a massive day.
00:14As you can see behind us, the Emirati band, they've been playing for about an hour now.
00:18I don't know how they're surviving the heat.
00:21Behind us, a steady stream of cars keep pulling up and dropping off dignitaries.
00:26And the band that we were talking about, they arrived here this morning at 7 a.m. from Al Ain.
00:31And it's a traditional, very old band, apparently, from 1951.
00:36They've been playing various songs, and they're here today.
00:40They've been going all morning, apparently, getting ready for this big event.
00:43Obviously, the royal weddings are a huge occasion here in the UAE, and a lot of people we've
00:48spoken to have said that this really is a moment of great joy for the nation.
00:53Absolutely.
00:54And also, we've had some early arrivals with the Indian businessmen.
00:58We had Ramesh Shukla earlier coming in.
01:00Dr. B. R. Shetty, as well, spoke to us, who said he's completely elated to be invited
01:06and wished the couples all the very best.
01:08I'm just looking behind me now to make sure that no cars come and pull up and knock us
01:12out of the way.
01:13Actually, most of the guests now have actually arrived, haven't they?
01:16I think now pretty much.
01:18Yes.
01:19I'm sure a lot more are yet to arrive.
01:21So stay tuned to the live coverage that we are bringing to you.
01:26And we'll come back to you shortly.
