Wedding coverage in HELLO! as couple start honeymoon

Share this:

Newlyweds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have jetted into the Maldives for their honeymoon after what was one of the most lavish celebrity weddings of recent years. And a special edition of HELLO! magazine, packed with photos and details of Saturday's nuptials, will be one of the first international magazines to hit the newsstands when it comes out on Tuesday morning.

The Italian town of Bracciano, where the loved-up couple made their vows, is meanwhile getting back to normal, though details of what took place inside the majestic Odescalchi Castle are still emerging.

Fashion guru Giorgio Armani, who designed the outfits for both bride and groom, has revealed Tom was equally as flamboyant in his display of affection on the day as he was while the couple were courting. When he and his pretty love were declared man and wife, "it was a never-ending kiss," said the Italian designer. "It lasted so long it caused guests to shout 'stop, stop!'."

The ceremony, which took place in a former stable decorated with masses of white flowers, began with the Mission Impossible star walking down a stone ramp lined with flag-bearers wearing medieval costume. Katie, who was carrying a bouquet of calla lilies, was then escorted to the altar by her father Martin. And later on, when the couple cut their five-tiered white wedding cake, thousands of rose petals cascaded down on them from above.

Representatives for the pair have revealed they actually had a civil wedding in Los Angeles last week. There will have been little doubt in the minds of the romantic couple, or any of their A-list guests, that Saturday's Scientology ceremony was the one which sealed their relationship, however.
