It’s finally official: Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes will marry Saturday (tomorrow!!!) at Italy’s Odescalchi Castle. Located in the lakeside town of Bracciano, this 15th-century castle will be a truly romantic setting for TomKat’s wedding location.
Odescalchi Castle has long been the reported venue for Cruise & Holmes’ wedding, but this is the first time the rumor has been confirmed. Bracciano’s mayer Patrizia Riccioni is waiving the $50,000 fee the facility normally charges, saying that TomKat has already done enough for them with all the attention they have brought to the town. I wonder, did she mean that in a good way or a sarcastic way?
The $50,000 fee to use the facility has been waived, because Bracciano mayor Patrizia Riccioni wants to thank the couple for all the attention they’ve brought her town, Bush reported.
“I want to thank Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for choosing this venue for such an important event,” Riccioni stated.
Mayor Riccioni even gifted the famous couple with a small silver replica of the castle as a gift, the card reading, “A sincere note in sign of gratitude from the city of Bracciano, for having chosen it as the place where to crown your dream of love.”
Wow. I don’t think you can do better than that. I didn’t even get a complimentary piece of cow dung for getting married in a country field….
