Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were already married when they tied the knot in a spectacular million dollar wedding at a fairytale Italian castle. Cruise's agent revealed the couple had a legal ceremony in America before flying to Italy, as the Church of Scientology service is not recognised there. Celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, Brooke Shields and Jim Carrey flew in for the event at the 500-year-old, ivy-covered castle.

Holmes arrived first, followed by guests in a series of blacked-out minibuses. Cruise arrived at 4pm and the wedding took place at 6pm in the Sala dei Armi (Hall of Arms). The wedding music included several Elvis songs and finished just after midnight, followed by a firework display over the castle. The couple flew out of Italy early yesterday aboard a private jet and headed to the Maldives for their honeymoon.
