BRACCIANO, Italy (AP) - In a fairy-tale setting, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes exchanged wedding vows Saturday in a glowing 15th-century castle in this medieval lakeside town. |
Cruise's publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed that the evening ceremony had taken place and said he would release details later. It was expected to be a Scientology ceremony.
Oil-fed torches and tiny candles flickered from the battlements and windows of the Odescalchi castle as the couple
One of the guests was the couple's daughter, 7-month-old Suri, who was dressed in white and arrived in her mother's arms.
Holmes wore a black dress and boots before she changed into a Giorgio Armani gown for the ceremony. Cruise came from Rome, where the family had been staying in a luxury hotel near the Spanish Steps, in a van and, sporting dark shades, waved to fans.
When the groom drove up, Holmes, anxiously gesturing with a hand, watched from a castle window.
Other VIPs driven through the castle gates included Brooke Shields, Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey and Roberta Armani, the designer's niece. People magazine also reported that Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, along with David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, came to the castle. And "Entertainment Tonight" said Italian singer Andrea Bocelli serenaded the couple after the ceremony.
