Marrying Katie Holmes

In a spectacle that befitted their Hollywood royalty status, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes exchanged vows in a fairytale ceremony at the magnificent Odescalchi Castle in Italy back in 2006. Yet, amid the opulence and splendor, whispers circulated about the absence of the bride’s devout Catholic parents, who reportedly balked at attending a Scientology wedding.

Despite this, the guest list read like a who’s who of Tinseltown luminaries. From the comedic genius of Jim Carrey to the radiant charm of Brooke Shields and the megawatt presence of John Travolta, Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith, along with the legendary Russell Crowe and the incomparable Jennifer Lopez, the star-studded affair added an extra layer of glitz and glamour to an already unforgettable occasion.
