Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes crowned their love story Saturday with a fairy-tale wedding fit for royals in a 15th-century Italian castle.
Cruise and Holmes exchanged vows in an evening ceremony in the Odescalchi Castle, said Cruise's publicist Arnold Robinson.
One of the guests was 7-month-old Suri, the couple's daughter, who came in her mother's arms.
Holmes and baby Suri had arrived at the medieval Odescalchi Castle early Saturday afternoon in a limousine as rain started falling ahead of the wedding. Cruise arrived later in a van as sunshine peeked through.
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.
The first guest to drive through the castle's gates was Roberta Armani, niece of the fashion designer Giorgio Armani, who designed Holmes' wedding dress.

STARS GALORE
 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 among the wedding guests.

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
