George Clooney is officially off the market. The longtime Hollywood bachelor married Lebanese-British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin on Saturday evening, in a private ceremony at the Aman Canal Grande in Venice, reportedly officiated by former Rome mayor Walter Veltroni. The ceremony was followed by a night of cocktails and dancing with friends close and/or famous.
On Sunday, the pair left their hotel for a well-viewed ride down the Grand Canal, Clooney in Cary Grant sunglasses and a grey suit, Alamuddin in a short lacy white dress by Italian designer Giambattista Valli Couture. They hosted a lunch for their guests at the Cipriani, and dinner at the nearby Antichi Granai, a former granary. A source, possibly not a native English speaker, tells E! that the day's festivities were "super chilled without anyone over doing it." Father of the bride Ramzi Alamuddin tells AFP that "the wedding was more than perfect," both "grand" and "simple."
