Celebrity Wedding Moments

This is the moment we've all been waiting for: The first photos from George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin’s wedding ceremony have arrived!

As one would imagine, the couple looked beyond gorgeous as they tied the knot at Aman Canal Grande Venice in Italy on Sept. 27. They appear on the cover of this week's People magazine (and Hello! internationally), which includes 25 photos from their wedding album. Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski were among the approximately 100 guests who attended the private service (see their fashions here). Clooney, 53, told People that marriage to London barrister Alamuddin, 36, "feels pretty damn great."

So what exactly did the bride and groom wear for the big day? Alamuddin dazzled in an exquisite custom-made Oscar de la Renta wedding gown of French lace that featured a floor-brushing train and hand-embroidered pearls and diamanté accents. A long, elegant veil graced her hair and swept down to the ground.

Clooney also opted for classic style and suited up in a black tuxedo of ultra-fine wool and cashmere that was created by Giorgio Armani as part of the Made to Measure collection. He also wore a black bow tie, black brushed-leather oxfords, People reports. But perhaps the most significant pieces Clooney donned for the momentous occasion are his cufflinks, which were inscribed with "George" in Arabic—and were given to him by Alamuddin!
