Is he standing on a box or something?

Um, either Katie is bending her knees a bit or Tom is wearing elevator shoes because she usually towers over him in flats. That said, congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Cruise. In case you were unaware, they were married in a 15th-Century castle in Bracciano, Italy. Armani designed the wedding duds. And the couple’s vows were likely Scientologist through and through. There is a breakdown of the ceremony elements at the Daily News of Halifax. Here’s a peek:

…they may be told that newlywed “girls” expect “frills” and maybe a cat, and young men are prone to “forget” their promises.

Um, okay. Moving on.

    Perhaps non-elective leg-shortening surgery?

    Either that or mad Photoshop skilz.

    (giggles)

    If she was wearing the traditional meringue hoop, I might well believe that, but this gown would show the thigh bend pretty clearly.

    Then again…Photoshop can do wonders for that, too.

    Maybe he is holding her up? See how she is sort of slumped onto him?

    What I’m really noticing though, is how short his pants are. If you focus on it, he really looks like an idiot.

    …Also, she has a big head.

    The reason, dear ladies, that Mr. Cruise’s pants were too short is because he gained about twenty pounds before the wedding. For those who aren’t aware of the finer points of fitting, yes, one’s trousers will hike up if one gains weight – the fabric has a greater distance to travel in terms of length, as well as girth. Apparently (see the above link, also sent to The Manolo), while the staff at Armani was fussing with the fit of the jacket (or having the fit), they neglected to let down his trousers. A fitting reward for the loony who got on poor Katie’s case for having had the temerity to gain weight because she had a baby.
