"They couldn’t agree where they were going," the source added. "Initially Tom wanted to bring the two older children, Isabella and Connor, with them on honeymoon, but it didn’t happen in the end. Katie really wanted it to be just the two of them."

Also the actress’ dad Martin was apparently upset that the wedding was conducted by a Scientology minister.

"Katie’s dad is very religious and wasn’t happy. Eventually, Martin persuaded them to include a blessing from a priest too."

Tom Cruise’s extravagant Italian wedding to Katie Holmes has been branded a stunt - after it emerged the couple married in LA last week.

Tom’s spokesman confirmed a legally binding ceremony had already taken place in the US by the time Tom and Katie exchanged vows in a castle at the weekend.

The spokesman said this was "customary for couples marrying outside of the United States," the Sun reports.

On Saturday, Tom and Katie enjoyed a Scientology service at Odescalchi castle in front of family and friends.

Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Will Smith were among the guests who applauded when Katie walked down the aisle.

But according to the paper, the locals were offended when the couple failed to smile and wave at them.

The Mayor of Bracciano, Patrizia Riccioni, told the Sun she was now considering withdrawing the honorary citizenship she awarded Tom and Katie just days ago.

"It would have been nice for them to stop and wave," she said.

Local Catholic priest Nicola Fiorentini was upset the wedding was conducted by a Scientology minister.

He reportedly rang the bells at Mass to disturb Tom and Katie’s 20-minute ceremony.

It seems Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ big day may not go quite as they planned, according to reports.

Firstly, the Catholic priest in the Italian town they are said to have chosen for their big day is apparently refusing to marry them because the Top Gun actor is twice divorced.

And now the town mayor has said the paperwork for a civil ceremony hasn’t been completed.

The star-studded event is due to take place on November 18.

The small town of Bracciano has been teeming with paparazzi since it was reported the celebrations would take place at the luxurious Castello Odescalchi.

Bracciano priest Nicola Fiorentini is quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying: "Cruise is divorced. Even if he were not, another fundamental requirement would be missing - the authorisation of the parish."
