The Three-Minute TomKat Kiss

Celeb Wedding Over; Bracciano, Italy, Back To Normal

(CBS/AP)  After exchanging vows before a Scientology minister Saturday, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes engaged in a "never-ending kiss," according to guests who attended the wedding outside Rome.

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.

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!!

I think every Church should be paying taxes! They are in the news, for their sexual scandals and bs--more than Lindsay Lohan and Courney Love lately.
Doesn't it show you that there is something major wrong with all them? Churches I mean.

Who cares if they kiss for the minutes! Katie's life is screwed as she will never be allowed to to show herself with Tom wearing some heels.
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.

WHO CARES THEY'RE MARRIED?! I cannot take this anymore. What is the big deal about their wedding? SO WHAT! People who are into this stuff must not have a life.

I would like to say that nobody has mentioned this Scientology thing much. Listen to this.. Science didn't create us, we don't take our breaths each second thru scientology. It is sad that the world has removed God from everything. He is the foundation of marriage! Not Science! The fact is the gift of science came from God putting wisdom into man. I feel sad in my heart for these two and many more like them. It is our mission on earth to share what we know about the love of Jesus to ***,scientologist, and others who are living in dark places. The real truth is unless Christ is the head of every life and every covenant.. things like fame, money, are tangible things only for a season and they will DIE! The good news is that JESUS came so that we may have life and this will be Eternal. Recieve Life ask the Living God into your life. Maybe all of you thought this site was about "Tom &Katie, we don't have the right to judge, whoever is without sin can cast the first stone.. I dont know who you are but God knows who you are and you not worthy to judge these people. God is speaking to all of us! Think on this.....Recieve it without malice in your heart.

I hope we don't have to hear about them any more, ever again. please. let their marriage last so we never hear from the AGAIN... I won't say it a third time. :) ya, he should come 'out' I'd have more respect for him, but frankly, I don't wanna hear another story about them except for movies (that I won't see).
