HOLLYWOOD - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' romantic Italian castle wedding is in jeopardy after the local priest refused to marry them.
The Hollywood couple allegedly have their heart set on tying the knot at Bracciano's Castello Odescalchi. The medieval castle, located on the shores of Lake Bracciano, near Rome, is considered to be one of Europe's finest.
But the Catholic priest with jurisdiction over the dreamy venue insists his parish won't marry the stars because Cruise is twice-divorced.
And Mayor Patrizia Riccioni has ruled out a civil service because the pair have not provided the official documentation needed.
Monsignor Nicola Fiorentini says, "Cruise is divorced.
"Even if the actor were not divorced, another fundamental requirement to validate the rite would be missing: the authorization of the parish."
Mayor Riccioni adds, "I don't think it will be legal. On an Italian level, there are papers and documents that we certainly don't have (for a wedding)."
Cruise and Holmes are staying tight-lipped about their wedding plans, confirming only the big day will take place in Italy next weekend.
