Suckers For A TomKat Wedding

2006_11_cruisewedding.jpg

It's so embarrassing, but when we saw how adorable little Suri Cruise was as she was toted by her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Rome, we were goners. (She does not look particularly Asian, either.) We suddenly believe in media circus weddings abroad with a motley group of celebrities (Leah Remini and Jenna Elfman we get - they're Scientologists - but J. Lo and Jim Carrey?) and unions bound by carefully vetted contracts. Tom Cruise's children with Nicole Kidman are so damn cute, too. We can't help it if we feel like Kelly in The Office. (Speaking of, the Lazy Scranton video is on the NBC website.)

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are officially married now. People magazine even set up a Typepad blog monitoring the activities.

Tom and Nicole's kids are adopted.

Yes, but they are super cute.

I still think Suri looks a bit funky. She's got great hair, I'll give her that, but something is still off about her.

How are they married? They filed no papers for a leagl marriage. And all of a sudden they had "it" officially taken care of in LA before they left? Why wasn't this mentioned before hand? And WHAT was officially taken care of? Marriage was never mentioned! I guess they'll have an officially taken care of pretend divorce! What a joke!

Wow. I can't even come to Gothamist without hearing about this crap. It's bad enough that it is the main story on the front page of CNN. I thought I could escape it here...sad.

Go read the bullshit vows they used and tell me if you're still into this circus of a wedding.

user-pic

tired, you could have escaped tomkat here by not reading the post and commenting upon it.

user-pic

that's totally not their real kid.

user-pic

Jen, you're right, that kid is a cutie and awfully adorable. Good to her and them, wacky though they may be. I must say, every girl wishes a ceremony in a castle.

Scientology is not legally recognized in Italy, or anywhere else, and any rites performed under it are merely ceremonial.
TomKat wedding? What wedding?

"There is no marriage," admitted Iris Novello, a spokesman for Bracciano town council. "This is not legal here, and there will be nothing formal about the wedding." She said the couple simply wanted to mark their relationship and the council had not been asked to issue a marriage licence.

In other breaking news, up is now down and right is officially wrong. The apocalypse will occur next friday at 5:28 pm.

every girl does NOT want to be married in a castle. particularly to a gay man.

This wasn't a wedding, it was an elaborate production by Tom Cruise, directed by Tom Cruise and starring Tom Cruise. I heard that Tom even pretended he was straight for the occassion.

They are probably not legally married since Tom would end up divorcing her anyway, just like he ended up divorcing Nicole Kidman just before they celebrated their 10 year anniversary and the payoff was set to increase for her. After all, who besides Kelly Preston wants to be married to a gay, narcisstic Scientologist?

user-pic

Oh come on, lisa, it's a fairy tale. All of it. Nothing wrong with a beautiful locale and a fairy tale, whether the guy claims to be straight or not. Lighten up, you'll live longer!

user-pic

Elderta: You're right. It is a fairy tale. It's Red Riding Hood, only Katie didn't pick the right path. Path of needles, path of pins...I'm sure Tom will be happy to provide, aren't you?

user-pic

I wish them every happiness and hope they hold on for the ride. I'm not walking in either of their shoes, so I don't know what the real deal is. And neither does anyone but them.

user-pic

Ah, cute. The cross-gender clones come out much prettier than i would have thought...

"every girl does NOT want to be married in a castle. particularly to a gay man."

Let's do this again: "every girl who gets married in a castle, will probably be getting married to a gay man." He'll say he's straight, but...

user-pic

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I was just pointing out that not every 'girl' wants to get married in a castle. Meaning, not all of us like being put into that 'fairy tale' box.

I'd rather get married barefoot on the beach in Hawaii myself, and spend very little $$'s doing it. That's all I meant.
