NEW YORK: Tom Cruise and Katie Holm-es are planning to wed at George Clooney’s Italian villa next month. The stars are said to have decided to tie the knot at the luxury £1.4 million pad on the shore of Lake Como after enjoying a holiday there last weekend.

It is believed Katie and Tom opted for an Italian wedding because it was in Rome where they confirmed their relationship with a very public kiss on the set of Mission: Impossible III.

According to local newspaper reports, the date of the big day is November 23 and the ceremony will be conducted by a local mayor. On October 15 a source 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.”
