That kiss could be seen as a sweet gesture or as a reminder of the hyper-love they have openly displayed since they first announced their relationship in April 2005 in Rome. Just a month later, Cruise was hopping on Oprah Winfrey's couch.
"They had a very long kiss," producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who attended the wedding, told The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm. "The highlight was at the end of the whole ceremony. Everybody went outside this beautiful castle and all of a sudden these fireworks went off from all around the castle ... Just amazing. They are both so happy and so into each other. It was a pleasure to be there."
Most of the guests left the country the next day without offering comment or gossip, leaving the show-business and tabloid press to speculate on a three-minute kiss that one paper dubbed "Top Gum" and claims the service was a recruiting drive for Scientology.
Despite all the hype surrounding it, the wedding was actually just a party. Cruise and Holmes had already tied the knot in a civil ceremony in California because Scientology rites aren't recognized in Italy, reports CBS correspondent Allen Pizzey.
The celebrities swept into the castle in darkened vans so onlookers could not be sure who was in attendance. The mood stayed festive and calm so the paramilitary carabinieri drafted for crowd control had nothing to do and neither did the extra civil defense workers. The city council closed the town center to traffic and even dipped into local funds to compensate the castle souvenir stand owner who had to shut down for the day.
But hours after the celebrity affair, the small Italian town of Bracciano went back to its normal peaceful rhythm. The town welcomed the celebrity couple and their famous friends, yet the couple didn't even bother to come out and give the locals a wave.

fer sure.
To me, those are all affirmations of his over-bearing, narrowminded pretentiousness. The poor girl. I feel sorry for her.
You are a jerk amigo like the rest of the Hollywood scene...............maybe you should get a life.
Right on.........Hollywood is such a waste and of course we always pander to it................it is the way to the world.
Give us a break amigo/amiga they will be divorced in less than a year.

In Russia I heard, there is a place where they can extend your legs if you have midgetitas. Why did none of the billionaire friends of Cruise, like Spielberg, give Tom a free surgery for that.
Katie could be who she is and what she is: a normal grown woman.
Doesn't it show you that there is something major wrong with all them? Churches I mean.

- I give it two years at the most. These Hollywood celebrities are so detached from reality it's not even funny. It's really rather sad that a couple of idiots screaming for attention would actually be put up on a pedestal by some. Please, please, please, Tomkat, do not come back!!
