2. Last one:

Prisoner looks out the window.

[LibraLiz1973]

3. ROFLMAO- I'm about to make it worse...

"why didn't any of these people tell me this was a really bad idea?"

[LibDemAlways]

19. Those two pics are interesting. Has anyone told

Katie that unless she fills out the necessary paperwork and participates in a civil ceremony, she isn't legally married under Italian law; and this will be a very convenient "out" for Tom when the time comes? If she knows this is a big farce and goes along with it anyway, she has no one to blame but herself when the divorce shit hits the fan as it inevitably will.

[catzies]

29. Flashback to Mick Jagger & Jerry Hall -- same thing happened to them right?

How do I know this shit anyway? *smacks forehead*

[yvr girl]

37. The press release said that

it was officialized in LA prior to their trip to Italy.

[LibDemAlways]

43. If they had a civil ceremony in LA earlier,

then they were already married when they arrived in Rome. Thus the "wedding" was just a giant publicity stunt - one which apparently succeeded very well given all the coverage it's garnered.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. She has the look on face like "What the hell am I getting myself into ?"

And all of these celebrities - how many of them really know the bride and groom for that matter as the people that they are and not for their celebrity status.

[Left Is Write]

20. Apparently Posh is one of Katie's "best friends."

I guess I wouldn't know, though.

[cwydro]

4. Oh PLEASE tell me

that is a fake fur...

[LibraLiz1973]

5. I'm praying too. I will have lost alot of respect for her if it is not

[cwydro]

6. Sure looks real

but how would I know...
Yeah, I agree with you on the respect thing...

[LibraLiz1973]

9. It really really does look really REAL

Balls.

WHy do people think fur is ok?

[Debbi801]

32. i want to know why she went, period....

I cannot believe she would pimp herself that way after the comments he made.

[Suich]

7. Sorry you're sick!

Is someone live-blogging this thing? What site has the photos?

:hi:

[LibraLiz1973]

8. Yahoo has the photos but they are coming in slooowww

I am updating as they do.

Damn I hate slow internets.

[CatholicEdHead]

31. The tubes, the tubes are clogged

10. WEDDING HAS JUST TAKEN PLACE

They're Married!
This just in: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now husband and wife, their rep confirms to PEOPLE.

__________________________________________

BRACCIANO, Italy - Small flames flickered from castle battlements and hundreds of fans packed into a square outside Saturday as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes arrived separately in this medieval town for their star-studded wedding.

Cruise, waving to fans, arrived in a van at the wedding venue, the 15th century Odescalchi Castle, a few hours after his future bride and their baby, Suri, were driven through the gates in a limousine.

Pouring rain had forced Holmes, who wore a black dress and boots, and her daughter, clad in a white outfit, to take shelter under large, green umbrellas as they left their limousine. But the sun was shining on the castle when Cruise arrived, with some fans shouting, “Tom, Tom!” The actor, wearing sunglasses, leaned forward from the back seat of the van to wave.


As the sun began to set, candles were placed in pots along the road to the castle and in some of the windows. Men wearing tuxedos and women holding up the hems of their long gowns walked up the steep path to the castle.

Holmes was giving Cruise a Vacheron Constantin watch engraved simply, “I Love You,” as a wedding gift, the company said. It said she bought the gift in Los Angeles last week.

Security was tight, with Carbinieri paramilitary police patrolling the walls of the castle and all vehicles banned from the center of Bracciano.

Residents hoping to catch a glimpse
Hundreds of the town’s residents and fans of the actors braved the intermittent rain, hoping to catch a glimpse of the bride and groom or one of their famous guests. Richard Gere was among those who arrived.

“I want to see at least one of them — even if it’s not Tom Cruise,” said 15-year-old Erica Bandiera.

“I want to see Beckham’s wife,” said her friend Luca Costanzi, 15, with a huge grin. English soccer star David Beckham and his pop-star wife, Victoria, were expected to be attending the wedding.


The first guest to drive through the castle’s gates was Roberta Armani, niece of fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who designed Holmes’ wedding dress.

As the car slowed down for the gates to open, a smiling Roberta Armani lowered the window and waved at the crowd.

A couple of hours later, Italian singer Andrea Bocelli was seen being driven through the gates.

Bocelli told Sky TG24 TV by telephone from inside the castle that he planned to “sing something as a wedding gift” to the couple after the ceremony. He said that because he was a Roman Catholic he would not sing during the wedding, which was expected to be a Scientology ceremony.

Other guests were expected to include “Mission Impossible III” director J.J. Abrams, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Lopez and Lopez’s husband, singer Marc Anthony, and Will Smith.


“This is an honor for us,” said Marianna Riso, 31, who came to Bracciano from the nearby town of Anguillara in hopes of getting a glimpse of one of the celebrities. “(Cruise and Holmes) really are known all over the world and they chose Bracciano. It’s an honor.”

Locals found their own ways to welcome the bride and groom.

“We are all participating a little in this wedding,” said Simona Palazzini, a restaurant owner in the square next to the castle. “And we are quite happy to do so.”

At her Il Ristorantino dining spot, Palazzini offered a “Top Gun” menu that included fettuccine with seafood called “Mission Impossible” and apple pie with cream and hot chocolate named after Suri. At the nearby Trattoria del Castello, guests could order a “Tom e Kat” — a basket of parmesan cheese with truffles and mushrooms.

“Wishing you love and happiness,” read one sign written in English and taped to the window of a coffee shop.

11. why don't these 'celebs'

wear clothes that FIT? ? ? ?



aA
:shrug:

[LibraLiz1973]

14. You mean tits smashed up and pouring out isn't the way you should dress?

Dang, who woulda thunk?

[barb162]

40. Yeah, that dress is about 4 sizes too small

what is wrong with that woman?????

[undeterred]

12. So Brooke has forgiven Tom for his nasty remarks

regarding her postpartum depression?

[LibraLiz1973]

13. Yeah. She says he went to her house personally

and apologized.

Apparently she and Katie have also bonded because their babies were born on the same day. They've become friends.

[undeterred]

16. Well, that's cool

Despite all the recent controversy, there are quite a few people who think of Tom as one of the nicest people in Hollywood- Renee Zellweger said that about him.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

28. From what I heard...

Katie had postpartum depression too, and she and Brooke bonded over it.
And I just have to say...Suri is a beautiful little baby.

15. British women always wear these fabulous hats to weddings.

I guess you have to angle yourself between the women in hats to get a view!

[LibraLiz1973]

17. Guests who arrived but didn't walk the "wedding carpet fashion show"

Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey



Andrea Boccelli

[GCP]

21. FWIW - I REALLY REALLY LOATHE Victoria Beckham

Maybe she's a nice woman, but I can't stand her.

[Mojambo]

33. That outfit is so.....

I don't know what, but it really pisses me off.

[barb162]

42. cheap-looking?SHe really should keep the boobs IN the dress

[radwriter0555]

38. How could someone so skinny have MORE BACK FAT than Star Jones?

WTF is up with that? Get healthy and tone up and work OUT!

[barb162]

41. Why? Besides the way she wears her clothes too small

This is the first time I ever saw her (I don't follow soccer)

[smirkymonkey]

49. She seems so insecure and shallow to me.

Also, I think she's rather harsh and scary looking.

[LibraLiz1973]

22. J Lo & Hubby at the wedding

Anyone else think this guy is scary looking?

[GCP]

23. Is that one of her fur creations?

:grr:

[LibraLiz1973]

24. you bet.

She is a fur person and has no problem with it- much like Beyonce.

Makes me sick

[QMPMom]

25. Marc Anthony has looked like a skeleton with skin stretched over

it ever since he married J-Lo. Maybe it's guilt manifesting itself physically for dumping Dyanara like he did.

[skygazer]

26. He looks like a walking corpse

His eyes are sunk so far into his head that you'd need a pry bar to get 'em out.

[LibraLiz1973]

35. Gossip Blogs refer to Marc Anthony as SKELETOR

and I totally agree


Here is Marc Anthony when he was married to his first wife, Dayanara (sp?)



And here he is since he dumped first wife and moved on to J-Lo.













Kharmas a bitch

[Cush]

27. what., no photo's of Xenu?

[electron_blue]

30. how many brides wear black?

Is this a new fashion thing? Not to say all brides should wear white, other colors are lovely. But black makes such a statement. An appropriate one in this case, I happen to think.

[yvr girl]

36. She got dressed at the castle

It was raining when she arrived. I'm sure she wanted to keep the dress clean...and secret.

[xchrom]

34. i LOVE victoria's dres -- LOVE IT!

she looks to die for.

brooke looks classic -- like the real bauty she is.

what happened to jada -- why is she standing like that?

the dress looks really cute -- but she is standing like a sumo arestler.

[radwriter0555]

39. Jada clearly didn't take the "turn the toes in or cross the ankles" how to stand

for the paparazzi class.

Or else she flunked!

But Posh's dress on HER is nasty nasty nasty. All that back fat is disgusting.

[LibraLiz1973]

44. Here it is: The official wedding photo

[ronnykmarshall]

46. Oh how sweeeeeet!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[LibraLiz1973]

47. I'm not a fan, but, I think they look happy

Not that it's any of my business

[terrya]

50. Just breathtakingly beautiful, isn't it?

The prenups have been signed, Katie has signed the non-disclosure agreements, all is good to go for marriage #3 for Tom! Yay! Maybe Katie is FINALLY the right girl! Gosh, let's hope and pray that she is!

[Jade Fox]

51. Geez Tom, could you have gotten a decent haircut....

or at least run a comb through it? :spray:

[NNadir]

45. Brooke looks depressed.

Uh-Oh.

[LibraLiz1973]

48. I disagree

She looks like Brooke. She doesn't seem to have a wide range of facial expressions
