Anticipation and the numbers of the curious seem to be growing in the Town of Rhinebeck, New York, but so far, there's been no sign of the wedding party or any of its reported high profile guests. NY1's Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following report.

The FAA has declared the airspace above Chelsea Clinton's rumored wedding location a no-fly zone from Saturday afternoon until early morning Sunday, protecting the privacy and security of the couple and their famous guests.

"At the end of the day it's a wedding. Just give her her time. Who wants helicopters buzzing around," said one Rhinebeck resident.

Meanwhile, the Town of Rhinebeck is getting all gussied up, in any attempt to put its best foot forward for any famous faces that might pass by. While the guest list is still anybody's guess, Hudson Valley News Executive Editor Jim Langan expects some big names at the nuptials.

"Oprah, Speilberg, Streisand, Tom Hanks. The old Lincoln Bedroom regulars," Langan said.

People watchers who came early on Thursday may not have gotten a star studded show but did get a front row seat to a media circus.

Camera crews staked out the Beekman Arms with photographers trolling village sidewalks for days.

"It's great for Rhinebeck. It's not only put us on national news, it's put us on international news," said one Rhinebeck resident.

"We heard there was a lot of media up here so we thought we'd come see some of the excitement with the media and we've seen a lot. Every corner just about," said another.

One person who won't be caught by the paparazzi in Rhinebeck this weekend is President Barack Obama. When asked about the wedding on Wednesday, he told the ladies of "The View" he wasn't invited.
