Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's wedding

The countdown for one of Hollywood's most anticipated weddings has begun.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes arrived in Italy, with their infant daughter Suri, to get married at the Orsini Odescalchi Castle in the lakeside town of Bracciano, located 25 minutes north of Rome, on November 18.

A day before the big event, Cruise threw a lavish party for his Hollywood friends at a resturant called Ristorante Nino in Rome.



Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy were spotted leaving the restaurant holding the big bash.



This will be the second wedding for Cruise's adopted children Connor and Isabella.

Earlier this year, they went for their mother Nicole Kidman's wedding to country singer Keith Urban in Sydney, Australia.

Brook Shields was a surprise guest at Cruise's party.

Cruise recently blasted her when she used pills to fight her post-natal depression after the birth of her daughter Rowan.

The actor, who is a strong believer of Scientology, claims to have helped people fight drug addictions and stated that the actress should have used vitamins, not drugs.

The duo have obviously patched up.
