American actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have started their honeymoon after a lavish wedding in Italy.

The couple exchanged wedding vows in a floodlit Odescalchi castle, near Rome, attended by a Scientology minister and a host of showbusiness stars. Fans and press had to brave cloudbursts and then fog to catch even the most fleeting glimpse of the celebrities.

The couple flew out of Rome for a honeymoon in the Maldives, said a Ciampino airport spokesman. The centre of the small town of Bracciano was sealed off for the wedding and extra police brought in.

As Saturday’s evening ceremony took place, oil-fed torches glowed from the battlements of the 15th Century castle, which rises above the town on the shores of Lake Bracciano. Cruise’s publicist, Arnold Robinson, said the ceremony was performed in front of more than 150 relatives and friends. The wedding party included Cruise’s two children, Isabella and Connor, from his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman. The best man was Cruise’s best friend David Miscavige and the matron of honour was Holmes’ sister Nancy Blaylock. The guest list included fellow Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, Jim Carrey, and Richard Gere. Holmes wore a Giorgio Armani dress, with an ivory train adorned with lace and crystal embroidery, while Cruise wore an Armani tuxedo, reports said.
