Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tied the knot

Alas! They are wed. Fireworks lit up the night sky above the storybook Italian castle where Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes tied the knot on Saturday. More than 1,000 people turned up to watch the fireworks capping festivities at the castle, which was reportedly rented for $1.9 million. Whew! The wedding ceremony was strictly private. Even reporters are not allowed to enter. Among those attending the glam nuptials was a radiant Brooke Shields, who reportedly patched up a spat with Cruise after he criticized her publicly for taking anti-depressants to deal with post-natal depression. Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham arrived without football star husband David, with whom she was photographed Friday night heading to a Roman restaurant with the wedding couple, one of Hollywood's most visible and most controversial.
