Hollywood glamour couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been reported to be preparing to tie the knot at George Clooney’s lakeside villa in Italy next month. The pair have also reportedly bought for £3.5 million one of three properties Clooney owns in the northern Italian village of Laglio for use as their European base. Katie, 28, and Tom, who have a five month old baby daughter called Suri are said to have decided on an Italian wedding as it was where their relationship was confirmed with a very public kiss while he was filming Mission Impossible 3 in Rome. Details of their marriage ceremony were leaked to the local newspaper in Como near Clooney’s villa at Laglio. The paper named the day as November 23. The pair were said to have decided on Clooney’s villa after spending a short holiday there. Katie herself jetted into Como last weekend from Paris after visiting the city’s fashion show with new pal Victoria Beckham. According to details published yesterday Katie and Tom are said to have also bought Villa Teodolinda, which is opposite Clooney’s magnificent Villa Oleandra residence. Clooney regularly offers his home to Hollywood acting pals on holiday in Europe and previous guests have included Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon and Richard Gere. The civil wedding ceremony will reportedly take place at Villa Oleandra and be perfomed by the local mayor. But the mayor, nor any other local officials, were available for comment yesterday. Last week Katie was spotted in Como after flying in from Paris where she was said to have chosen a Karl Lagerfeld wedding dress. Yesterday a source in Como quoted in the Italian media said: "The wedding is scheduled for mid November. Kate had looked at various hotels but the venue is set to be George Clooney’s villa." Representatives for Cruise and Clooney could not be contacted yesterday. If indeed the civil ceremony goes ahead next month, it is likely Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will then have both a Scientology service and a Catholic blessing. The half-hour Scientology ceremony has a similar protocol to traditional weddings and involves the couple reading out their personal vows to one another and exchanging rings embossed with Scientology’s ARC triangle, which stands for Affinity Reality Communication. A Scientology minister will also read out the invocation: "Rejoice you line of struggling life from eons gone, for here again, your track is sped and winged into a future fate by this, the union of a man and woman, crossing this bridge, whose child shall pace a future span." Katie, who was raised a Catholic but converted to Scientology on meeting Tom, reportedly wants a Catholic blessing to appease her religious parents. It is not clear whether the additional ceremonies will be held in Italy or back in the U.S.
