Most Expensive Weddings in the World
#10 Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

The Top 10 Most Expensive Weddings in the World saw Tom and Katie exchange platinum-and-diamond Cartier Dia Eternity bands. The guests were given a unique welcome by flag bearers dressed in Renaissance garments.

Cruise’s son Connor and daughter Isabella along with Suri were among the most coveted eye candies. Nancy Blaylock, the sister of Katie was the maid of honor while David Miscavige was the best man for Cruise.

The 15th century Italian Odescalchi Castle was the venue for the biggest wedding of 2006 between Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The small Italian town saw considerable hustle on the D-Day with media persons appearing in advance and the preparations going on in full course for the prospective bride, groom and their baby. The fabulous setting of the medieval castle was lit up by fireworks as the celebrity trio appeared before their guests, dressed out and out in Armani wedding apparels.

The grand wedding of an estimated cost of $2 Million included the Armani wedding wear, 300 bottles of wine, airfare for the guests and a top-grade entertainment. Gracing the occasion was singer Andrea Boccelli presenting the orchestra and music for the wedding. Among the guests were esteemed Hollywood celebrities like Jenna Elfman, J.J Abrams, Jerry Bruckheimer, Kathleen Kennedy and couples like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy and David and Victoria Beckham.

Why the occasion was considered so special? 

With the bride arriving in her lovely off-shoulder ivory silk wedding gown in a fully candle-lit room, the ambience became emotionally charged at the sight of the baby Suri following the bride in an Armani frock. This made the assembled guests feel friendly and homely instead of ostensibly formal. The five-tiered white chocolate wedding cake was an eye-catcher. The red carpet party following the three days wedding celebration was very special indeed.
