LAST week OK! invited us to the wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
It was unspecified whether or not we should rip the invitation out or take the entire magazine to the do.
Dress code was, again, unspecified. So we played it safe and dressed in a platform shoes, with an adult dummy pushed between out lips and a pointy hat on our heads. And we, like thousands of other OK! readers, arrived in Italy.
There was great excitement as Katie appeared at the window of the black-out van making serene progress to Odescalchi Castle.
As OK! says: “When Katie emerged, she looked simply radiant, and those around her gasped in awe as she shimmered in the early afternoon light.”
Stood in the refreshingly chilly air within waving distance of the castle battlements we too shimmied, or shivered if you will.
Here was Katie dressed in a navy blue dress and boots, clutching her daughter Suri to her chest. The crowd gasped. And then an unearthly silence fell upon the throng before Katie appeared at a window in the castle, “looking a little anxious”.
And then she was gone, off to “set about getting ready for her most exciting moment” – she was having her hair and make-up done.
We could wait. And the results were worth the effort. OK! notes that it wasn’t only Katie’s jewels that sparkled – “Katie’s bright, dazzling smile and twinkling brown eyes were almost bright enough to light up the hallway of thee castle.”

And as Katie’s eyes glowed in the dark the guests arrived: Victoria Beckham with a flying saucer-style hat perched on her head; Jennifer Lopez’s and her ghoulish husband Marc Anthony; Peter Gabriel and his pet... read more on Anorak
