We sang Elvis together," Cruise told reporters after meeting

 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.
