Katie and Tom's Expensive Wedding


On November 18, 2006, actress Katie Holmes married actor, Tom Cruise, in a Scientology (religion both Holmes and Cruise partake in) ceremony in Italy. The couple looked stunning in the Italian castle where they exchanged vows. Although the ceremony was only 15 minutes long, the setting was beautiful as Holmes wore an Armani gown with crystal embroidery and Cruise wore a navy blue Armani tuxedo with his name engraved in it. If that is not expensive enough, the couple exchanged Cartier wedding rings full of diamonds. The reception was even more rich and glamorous as the couple was serenaded by Italian singer, Andrea Bocelli. The central piece of the reception was the extravagant cake, which was a five-tier masterpiece in white chocolate, covered in roses, and accented with white chocolate chips. The couple plans on topping off all of this glamour with a romantic honeymoon to Maldives.
We all wish that we can have a wedding like TomKat, but in my opinion, it is not about how much money you spend. It is all about how creative you are in finding ways to budget your money and saving some money for you and your husband's new life together. The best weddings I went to were the ones that were not expensive or glamorous. They were the weddings that took your breath away, but did not call for the couple to get a line of credit on their house to have it.
