Newlyweds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have
jetted off on honeymoon to the Maldives
after a fairytale wedding in a 15th century
castle in Italy.
The guest list read like a Who's Who of
Hollywood as Cruise and Holmes tied the
knot in Bracciano on Saturday.
There were fireworks inside and out too
as the couple sealed their vows with a "never-ending
kiss".

Tom and Katie jet off to Maldives |
The kiss lasted so long it caused guests
to shout "stop, stop!" said Giorgio
Armani, who attended the wedding and designed
the outfits of the bride, the groom and
their baby, Suri.
The couple flew out of Rome on Sunday morning
for a honeymoon in the Maldives, said Ciampino
airport spokesman Adriano Franceschetti.
The rest of the wedding party was due to
fly to Los Angeles later on Sunday.
The evening wedding ceremony was performed
by a Scientology minister in front of more
than 150 relatives and friends, the couple's
publicists said.
Oil-fed torches and tiny candles flickered
from the battlements and windows of the
Odescalchi castle in the lakeside town as
the couple and guests gathered for the ceremony
in the town about 27 miles northwest of
Rome. Suri, dressed in white, arrived in
her mother's arms.
The wedding party included Cruise's two
children, Isabella and Connor, from the
actor's previous marriage to Nicole Kidman,
the publicists said in a statement. The
best man was Cruise's best friend David
Miscavige and the matron of honour was Holmes'
sister Nancy Blaylock.
Holmes wore a black dress and boots before
she changed into Armani's off-the-shoulder
ivory silk gown. Her father, Martin Holmes,
walked her down the aisle and she carried
a bouquet of flowers made by Armani, including
calla lilies.
Cruise, who sported dark shades and waved
to fans as he rode through the castle gates
in a van, wore a single breasted navy blue
Armani handmade suit for the wedding, with
an ivory silk French collar shirt of the
same fabric as the bride's gown.
