With the world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" just hours away, we'd be remiss in not paying a tiny tribute to the trove of Twilighters who've been camped out in wilderness wares since Thursday, waiting for a glimpse of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre tonight. Here's looking at you, Tent City!

To be sure, the assembled masses weren't exactly roughing it. A steady stream of guests descended on the makeshift compounds, including author Stephenie Meyer, screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg and stars Jackson Rathbone and Peter Facinelli, who even brought breakfast! In between celebrity sightings, campers could hang out at Yahoo's Twi-Fi lounge and even say "I do" to Edward Cullen. Well, sorta. A backdrop of the soon-to-be-infamous wedding scene (complete with cardboard vampire groom) awaited visitors, many of whom took the opportunity to don an ivory dress and take pictures with the bloodsucker. (Don't be too jealous, Bella, we're pretty sure nothing was legal...)
Campers were asked to move earlier today to make room for premiere preparations—an inconvenience we're sure was met with open arms. So good-bye, Tent City! Until 2012, when we'll bid farewell...forever.
