By Jeremy Ronald,WNS Italy Correspondent
BRACCIANO - American actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have exchanged wedding vows in a floodlit Italian castle. The wedding was celebrated by a Scientology minister in accordance with the couple's faith and attended by a host of show business stars. Crowds of onlookers and journalists gathered outside the Odescalchi castle in Bracciano, just north of Rome, for a glimpse of the celebrities. The wedding capped a week of Hollywood mania and media frenzy in the town. The centre of Bracciano was sealed off from Friday night and extra police brought in.
As darkness fell, oil-fed torches glowed from the battlements of the 15th Century castle, which rises above the town on the shores of Lake Bracciano. Cruise's publicist, Arnold Robinson, told the Associated Press news agency that the ceremony was performed in front of more than 150 relatives and friends. The guest list included fellow Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, Jim Carrey, and Richard Gere. Holmes wore a Giorgio Armani dress, with an ivory train adorned with lace and crystal embroidery, while Cruise wore an Armani tuxedo, reports said.
After the ceremony, the couple were serenaded by Italian singer Andrea Bocelli. Holmes and their seven-month-old daughter, Suri, arrived at the castle earlier in the day, followed by Cruise. Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, got engaged in June 2005, two months after they were first photographed together in Rome.
