Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise

Australian billionaire packer spent the night before on his family's converted ice-breaker, the Arctic P and married Baxter in a private civil service attended by a small circle including the groom's mother, Ros, and the bride's parents, Sheelah and Michael Baxter at Antibe's town hall.
They later advanced to the main extravaganza - where the newlyweds exchanged vows again under a flower-bedecked canopy.
The bride adorned a strapless white flowing floor-length gown, a haute couture creation by John Galliano for Christian Dior, said to cost $100,000.
Tom and Katie were seen holding hands and smiling from ear to ear as they sat side by side for the outdoor service in the grounds of the Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc on the French Riviera.
Guests were seated on either sides of the white-carpeted aisle, with some sheltering from the bright summer sun under umbrellas, to witness the couple wed under a canopy. Cruise and Holmes had front-row seats, Hello magazine reported.
Reuters reported that the newlyweds were expected to honeymoon on their private yacht, the same one Tom and Katie honeymooned on in 2006.
