ITALY: Tom Cruise and wife-to-be Katie snapped with baby Suri in Rome ahead of wedding

The impending Tom Cruise/ Katie Holmes wedding has sent the world's showbiz media into a frenzy. The couple has been almost impossible to spot, but they couldn't evade Reuters photographers on Wednesday (November 15). They were snapped in Rome ahead of their wedding along with daughter Suri. But as the Cruise convoy left the Hassler Hotel, they were harder to see behind heavily tinted windows. For the wedding this weekend, it's just as unlikely anyone will be able to see the star couple say 'I do', as even with a helicopter peeking into the Odescalchi (pronounced: oday-skalki) Castle is virtually impossible. No-one knows how the couple will arrive, by helicopter or car, and now the locals are even saying they could arrive from the other side of the lake by boat and then drive up to their medieval wedding venue. The couple have remained largely hidden since arriving in Rome at the beginning of the week. But Italian media and the odd fan have mounted a round-the-clock vigil outside the Hotel Hassler where the couple, along with guests including top Hollywood names, have been holed up.
