Funeral of the Century

It's confirmed: Crazy Cruise & Katie Holmes are now husband and wife.

The couple exchanged vows Saturday in a Scientology ceremony at the Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy.

Saturday's wedding started on a damp note, with scattered rain throughout the morning. Holmes and 7-month-old daughter Suri were escorted into the castle under a cluster of green umbrellas. A little over an hour later, the groom was escorted from the Hassler hotel in Rome to Lake Bracciano 18 miles away. With the sun going down, candles lit up the perimeter of the 15th-century castle as limousines carrying the guests drove through the gates.

Still, there might be one last hoop to jump through before their marriage is legal. Patrizia Riccioni, the mayor of Bracciano, Italy, said that the couple must be married in a civil ceremony in the town to make it official. As of Saturday evening, that hadn't happened yet. "Maybe they will have something official in the U.S.," she speculated.

What a surprise, the wedding isn't official yet because no one recognizes a Scientology Ceremony full of wailing, chanting and the sacrifice of puppies as a valid marriage.
