The National Enquirer is reporting that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes already got married last July in a Scientology ceremony by the sea.
Cruise and Holmes, who had met a few months earlier, are said to have exchanged rings emblazoned with triangular Scientology symbols during a Caribbean cruise. They supposedly wear their rings only at church functions and that is why no one can see the items. Holmes, who once claimed she would remain virginal until her wedding day, wore white, says the tabloid.
After the ceremony, the couple walked across a tiny bridge, a Scientology symbol for the journey to "total freedom," sources claim. Scientologists John Travolta and Kirstie Alley are said to have been on the ship, where guests also celebrated Cruise's 43rd birthday. Holmes' Catholic family was not present, but is due to attend their "official" wedding later this year, as their pregnant daughter will get married to Cruise
again.
A representative for the couple has denied the claims, saying: "They have not yet wed, and are continuing to move forward with their plans for the big day. And even if they did get married in a Scientology wedding, it's still just a Scientology wedding. My little cousin has married her Ken doll in at least two private ceremonies, but that doesn't mean the state of California is suddenly recognizing her marriage, even if it was witnessed by a stuffed bear."
