Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got hitched on Lake Bracciano, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski at George Clooney's house in Lake Como... More and more celebrities choose Italy as wedding destination.

Celebrity Weddings in the Boot-Shaped Country, International VIPs Definitely Love Italy!

Countless international celebrities have tied the knot in Italy and this is not surprising at all because the boot-shaped country is surely one of the most romantic places in the world; additionally, Italy is literally filled with ancient castles, villas, churches and monasteries, some of which are available today to host dream weddings.

On November 18th 2006 just to make an example (right, they're not a couple anymore...) Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got married at Odescalchi Castle on the southern shore of Lake Bracciano , about 40 km from downtown Rome; you have to know that this fortress is considered by many as one of the best-preserved in Italy and its long history is closely tied to the one of the Borgias and the Orsini Family . But why did Tom and Katie decide to pronounce the fateful œyes right here??? Well, of course we should ask them, but everything leads us to believe that they wanted a real fairy tale and they paid a fortune to make it come true... Clothes for everyone were designed by Armani (!) and NBC wrote that the bride œspent more than 3,000 dollars on lacy underthings... ¦ Shame it didn't work out for them :-(

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski tied the knot in Lake Como instead, on July 10th 2010; the super-private ceremony took place in George Clooney 's house, away from prying eyes; the groom had played a starring role in 2008 movie Leatherheads directed by Clooney and it seems that George was very happy to offer his property because he knew that Emily really wanted to wed her sweetheart in private (how kind!). After having declared their love for each other, the joyful couple partied with its friends on a yacht in Lake Como and rumors say that everybody seemed to have a blast ... Well, finding someone as nice as George Clooney doesn't really happen every day, but definitely you can have your marriage arranged in Lake Como too and perhaps rent a little boat! :-)

So now let's switch to another million-dollar wedding: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel 's nuptials in Puglia, southern Italy. In October 2012, the two lovebirds got hitched at sprawling 5-star resort Borgo Egnazia , surrounded by olive trees, jasmines and citrus groves; the prince of pop and his wonderful bride revealed that they picked this corner of Italy because they wanted to share their passion for food with families and friends and at the same time visit some natural beauties such as Lama del Trappeto , a complex of caves very well known for the Pezze di Greco living crÃ¨che . You might never afford Jessica's huge diamond wedding ring or pink haute couture gown designed by Giambattista Valli , but you will get married in a real paradise on earth... Making the best day in your life last forever.
